Today the weather was a bit better, so I decided to re furl the headsail as it was a bit untidy. When I pulled it out I discovered a couple of tears in the sail, one I could reach and repaired temporarily with a bit of sail repair tape, but there was a larger one along the leech of the sail hear the top. So I decided to furl it back up and wouldn't use it till I could get it repaired, probably in Bundaberg.
We had organised to have the marina courtesy car for a few hours this afternoon from 12.30 pm, so headed off into town to do the usual shopping run. Once again we didn't seem to have trouble filling the boot with food between the 4 of us. After shopping we returned to the boats and the girls packed the groceries on board whilst Rod and I wandered off to the local service station with our jerry cans to get some diesel. I did a second run and the tank is topped right up again.
We had the courtesy car for a couple more hours so did some sightseeing.
We decided to go into town for dinner and caught the local bus into the Sailing Club and had a good meal, before getting a taxi back to the marina. The sailing club was packed, as obviously the Sunday buffet is a bit hit with the locals.

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks favourable, so it is likely we will head off for a long trip to Pancake Creek (72nm)
