Saturday 25th September
Today it rained all day, quite heavy at times, so any outdoor activity was out of the question.
I went up to the marina office to check in and was pleased to see that my depth sounder transducer had arrived in the mail, so at least there was something indoors I could do. Replacing the transducer was relatively straight forward, but when I put power on the system to see it was working the screen came up blank. After a bit of fiddling around I realised that I had to reinstall the data input sources on the computer so it recognised the new transducer. The keel depth offset had also been lost so had to be reset. After this it worked and at this stage the problem appears to have been solved.
Carole went off to do the laundry, and I set the TV up as it looked like we may be sitting around watching it. I then found out the AFL Grand Final was on this afternoon, so Rod & Lee came around and watching it filled in the afternoon.
We decided on having seafood on board for dinner, so Rod & Lee went off to the local (frozen) seafood shop not far from the marina, and returned with oysters, prawns, calamari, a mud crab, scallops and fish which formed the basis of a veritable feast. Carole cooked the fish, scallops and calamari and we had a great meal, followed by more football – the League match between the Tigers and St George (the girls played scrabble).
