Restocking in Mackay

Wednesday 15th September




Today is put aside for restocking supplies, refuelling, giving the boat a good clean and getting ready to head off tomorrow.



We hired a car (2 door Getz) and the 4 of us headed off to the Canelands shopping centre (via the butcher) to restock our groceries. By the time we had loaded the car up it was clear we would have to do a special run to Dan Murphy's, as there was no space left anywhere after meat and groceries were on board.



Rod and I headed back to Dans to get our essential supplies after dropping the girls and the groceries back at the marina. I also loaded the jerry cans on board to get some diesel on the way home as well. Firtst we had to go via Bunnings to get a few bits and pieces, but mainly a range of putties, adhesives suitable for repairing hot water tanks, as Rod is still working on a suitable solution.



After loading up at Dans and getting the diesel, we were pretty much ready to go for tomorrow.



I have been having a few instrument problems, mainly the depth sounder, so also took the opportunity get a note off to the supplier seeking advice.



When we returned to the marina we noticed that “Mystique” had arrived ( the couple we met at Goldsmith), and we all ended up having dinner at the yacht club. I continued our search for the best calamari in QLD and the Yacht Club scored well.
