We had the engine serviced this morning and Carole gave the boat a good hose down and clean.
Nicole arrived on time at around 12 noon at the marina, and as we had spent the whole morning working on the boat, the afternoon needed to be devoted to provisioning before we head out to the islands for a week tomorrow.
We walked to Cannonvale and stocked up on all our needs, and then caught a cab back to the marina, as there was no way we could have carried it all home.
Whilst we were away, Kite Runner arrived at the marina and are on the same marina arm as us. The Simrad man was turning up at 3 pm to have a lot at their autopilot, which worked as soon as he turned it on. Maybe the tinkering the other day did some good Phil had used the autopilot controller all of the way back from Gloucester Island, but had not tried to see if he could run it from the chartplotter. In any case the Simrad mans visit was not wasted, ass there was a network problem with the wind instruments which requires a new cable to be run down the mast.
We had sundowners on Mica with the Phil and Wendy (Kite Runner) and Steve and Kim, (Wilparina), after which we walked into Airlie with Nicole and had dinner in there.
