We had a great day in Yeppoon. It started with a free breakfast at the cafe & only got better.
The the local machanic helped with our alternator issue, which needed a special bolt, nut & washers. He had to make a trip into town for the parts & when I asked him how much I owed him he replied ” 3 bucks will do it”. I was almost embarrised to give him $3 so I splashed out & gave him $4. Lol
Then my cousin Sandra poped in to
check out the boat, we went to her house for home made scones & butter & a cup of tea which was a real treat, then she lent us her car ( how good is that ! ). It allowed us to stock up on supplies for the next leg.
We toped the car up with petrol & returned it.
Sandra then treated us to a home made roast dinner. Sandra’s husband Tony also had a mate over called Steve who is a real card.
Tony & Sandra have a huge purpose built sound studio & media room & Tony & Steve entertained us with a few songs before it was time to get back to the boat. Luckily it’s fully sound proof cause boy it was loud.
How good is Sandra, as we left she presented us with a block of chocolate for the trip & a frozen home made spegetti bolonaise to take with us.
The plan is to leave tomorrow for Bundy but only if the weather is a little better. At the moment the wind is 30 knots plus & the boat is swaying even though it’s tied to the marina.
Here is a photo of Tony, Steve, & Decky their dog on drums. ( btw the room is heaps bigger, this is just one corner of it ( damm I wish I had my wide angle lens with me ) )
