23rd July Abell Point Marina Airlie Beach

Wind 10 – 15 Knts – sunny

We have decided if the marina has room for us we will stay an extra day to complete all our tasks . They can fit us in tonight but are very busy over the weekend so that works out well.

Morgan and I walked along the boardwalk and path to Cannonvale so she could have a play with other dogs. The walk was enjoyable but the 2 dogs she chose to play with totally ignored her as they were playing fetch with a ball despite the fact that she ran round and round them like a puppy.

Managed to do two loads of washing up at the laundry while John got the paper and replaced the torn mainsheet with 35 metres of new double braided rope.

The afternoon was spent washing the boat as a shag had sat on the top of the mast two nights ago and crapped all over the boat. Hope he doesn’t come back tonight !

Pumped up my new paddle board that arrived by courier from Maclean Outdoors via Hobie. How good is it to ring up your brother in law and order one to arrive in Airlie Beach no hassles. Thanks Doug and Sandra.

Before the sun set we rode to Airlie for milk, bread and butter, John had a beer at Magnums bar while I grabbed the supplies at the new Woolworths in Airlie then we rode back to Sorrentos for rib cutlets for dinner.
