Saturday 18th September
We were up early to check the weather forecast, and it wasn't good, 15 to 20 knots from the SE and 1.7 m seas. After a quick discussion with Rod and Lee we all decided to stay another day at the marina.
Steve Smith sent us an SMS that he was on his way in the Maritimo and they expected to be in Mackay at 9.30am. They plan to refuel and keep going, even though conditions are pretty unpleasant. We caught up with Steve and Kim at the fuel wharf, and they had a pretty rough trip down, Kim was seasick and just wanted to go and sit on some solid ground for a while. We were glad we hadn't bothered to go out.
Carole and Lee have gone into town to wander around the shops, whilst Rod and I are doing a bit of maintenance work on our boats.
The girls arrive back laden with bargains, and Rod and I had polished the stainless steel, and lunch at the pub.
We had the usual evening drinks (on Mica this time) to discuss tomorrows plans, and what we would do for dinner. We ended up back at the Yacht Club.
Tomorrows forecast looks encouraging, so hopefully we move on.
