Jenny had a dental appointment at Hope Island marina at 9:30 so headed off in the dinghy with shopping bags as well. We needed a few supplies for the visitors.

While Jenny’s teeth were examined John read the paper and enjoyed coffee and croissants at a local coffee shop. Bought a few supplies at a gourmet  butchers and Coles then back to the dinghy dock. So handy to have a dinghy dock right near the supermarket.

After loading groceries onboard O’vive we motored up to GCCM, the wind had become quite strong and as the pontoon was only about 8m long we called for assistance to tie up. With help from the crew on the dock and John’s expert manoeuvring we tied up without damage.

John, Morgan and I had lunch at the marina cafe then strolled through the expo until Friz and Tracey arrived at 4:30. It was great to see them again.

Sandra and Doug arrived an hour later so a long happy hour ensued. Jenny being the sober one drove us all to dinner at The Boardwalk Pub at Coomera about 5 minutes away where everyone decided the meals were very average. Back to O’vive for more drinks.
