By now we are pretty much over Bundaberg, but continue to find things to do to fill in time. This morning we caught the marina courtesy bus to the local markets (Shalom Markets at a Catholic College of the same name). We wished we hadn't bought fresh vegies yesterday, but bought some more anyway. For fresh produce it was quite a good market.

We had received a call from Steve Smith saying he was on his way to Bundaberg helping a mate bring his Riviera back to Sydney. It was only a short time ago he was on a Maritimo doing the same thing. He arrived at the marina to refuel at 10.30am, we were on the bus back from the markets, but he was still there when we arrived, as the girl driving the bus, also manned the fuel wharf, so they had to wait.
There was not much wind today, so I took the opportunity to put the repaired headsail back up, as we hope to head south tomorrow.
The NRL Grand Final is on the afternoon and as I have reasonable reception on channel 9, Rod came around and we watched the game on Mica.
We had a BBQ dinner and after a quick check of the weather forecast, we decide that we will head off to the Great Sandy Straits in the morning. Lee is still in Ipswich, but expected back tomorrow, so Cooinda will probably follow on Tuesday.
The is some more nasty weather on the way, so the current plan is to cross the Wide Bay bar on Thursday and get to Mooloolaba ahead of the change on Friday.
