Arrived here early yesterday morning. The entrance to the river is very silted up and Coast Guard warned me about coming in, even offered me an escort when thei boat crew started thei Sunday morning training at 8, but it didn't look too bad and I came in at first light with no problems on a rising tide.
I came up the river to the fuel wharf where I usually tie up annd found it had changed, the fuel wharf moved down river and it now belonged to a sailing club. I berthed there anyway to wait opening of Marina (10 AM), finally got hassled by sailing club members arriving to start their Sunday fun race, I stalled them for a while, finally got hold of Marina Manager by phone about 9 and organised a berth. He brought me down a key when he came on at 10
I was talking to a resident of the marina, lived on a big cat, asked him if there was a Big W or KMart in town , no but there is one at Kawana Waters. Straight away he said "I'll lend you my car". Turned out to be his girl friend's but I was able to get all my shopping done at the big shopping complex there.
Got a few jobs on the boat done and a relaxing evening.
Today, Monday, I have finished off my shopping localy caught up on a few more jobs and filled the water tanks. This afternoon I shall go down to the fuel wharf, refuel, then go out to the bay on this afternoon's rising tide. Plan to anchor overnight again and leave for Double Island Point early in morning. Few other boats I have spoken to are also leaving for Double Island in the morning so there will be quite a fleet of us.
