Still at Abel Point

Tuesday 7th September




More maintenance today. The diesel mechanic turned up at 7 am to service the engine, and did a very professional job at a reasonable cost.

At around 10am the sailmaker appeared with the replacement battens. It took both of us about an hour to fit them, but I am very pleased with the end result, once again the cost was reasonable.


Having completed our maintenance tasks, we decided it was time for a game of golf, even though the weather was a bit ordinary. Isolated showers seemed to be the order of the day.

We headed off to Proserpine Golf Course, not expecting a lot, and we were not disappointed. It is a typical country course, probably not at the better end of that category. Nevertheless, we were there, and it was time to progress the Mica Cup. Fairways were narrow and well wooded both sides, so the driver had to be retired in the 2nd nine as Carole was heading to a commanding lead.



Fortunes changed on the 2nd nine with the end result being Carole 31 points and Mike 32 points, reducing Carole's lead in the cup to 5 points.

We returned the car after golf and had dinner in town at a nice restaurant called “Capers”.
