Still in Mackay, time for Golf

Friday 17th September




Today is another day at Mackay, so we decide it is time for a game of golf.



We caught a taxi out to Mackay Golf Club, and whilst it was pretty windy, it was a good day for golf – not too hot. Carole immediately got off to a strong start with 4 points on the par 5 first hole ( she did the same on the par 5 tenth). The end result was a 2 point win to Carole (34 points vs Mike's 32), to increase her lead in the Mica Cup now to 7 points. We had a sandwich at the golf club and caught a taxi back to the marina.



Carole went up to the laundry to do some washing and met up with Lee and Kathy from Mee Too, which resulted in an invite for predinner drinks on Mee Too. We had already planned to have a roast dinner on Cooinda, so only stayed an hour.



Lee had prepared Roast Duck and Carole had baked some veggies in our over. We had a great meal washed down with a wine or two.

As usual we discussed plans for the next few days and the current weather forecast looks a bit marginal, so a few more days in Mackay may be on the cards.



We also had a call from Steve Smith, who is currently in the Whitsundays on a mate's Maritimo 50 foot motor cruiser. They are bringing it south and expect to be in Mackay tomorrow. If we are still here we may catch up with him.
