The last three  days are bunched together as life in the marina  has been fairly quiet and also I haven’t had any computer access. I sent my computer off with a repair fellow from Mossman as it was still giving me grief. The anti virus program stopped working and windows was telling me it wasn’t genuine. Finally after two days it has been returned and is working properly. It’s had a rebuild which should have happened when I got the new hard drive in Airlie Beach. The information that was transferred across from my old hard drive  in Airlie  was not complete, making my computer have intermittent problems that were hard to diagnose.

So the past days have consisted of washing clothes, the boat, Morgan and sorting out other things needing attention. Morgan has had another haircut as the temperature is fairly warm up here , averaging 28 degrees , and she can’t go in the water and cool down because of the crocodiles.

On Tuesday a film crew  were filming series two of an ABC program called ‘The Cove’ . They filmed on the water , heated cafe scenes and police running down the marina. Some of the scenes  had me fooled at first until I saw the film crew lurking in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sue and David came to dinner on O’vive for fish pies on Tuesday then when John got back we went to the Yacht club for dinner and enjoyed a steak and their signature salmon spring rolls.

The wind has died down so Sue and David on Karinya departed yesterday morning heading for Cooktown.

John has to write up a report on his Tassie findings for Hydro then we should be right to head north as well.

We haven’t decided whether to go further north than Cooktown yet as the weather pattern changes from Cape Bedford northwards and we may have stronger trade winds against us when we turn around.
