Sitting on M2 while the guys are off for their walk, coffee and I think hubby is shopping for clothes.
Laura is arriving at midday to pick up Bob and I and we will return to Perth while Frank stays with the boat until the transmission is repaired.
Yesterday we had lunch with Graham, Ruth and Carolyn and then went back to their place while Bob and Frank went to view the insides of the transmission. Definitely need a new one after viewing the corrosion on the old, so a job very much needing to be done. A very expensive little trip to Bunbury, but happy it happened in open water and not while we were trying to reverse into our pen.
I will be leaving the wireless modem on the boat for Frank to use while he is down here, so will have limited access to internet for the next week or so.
Making the most of it now while they are away, as in an hour will be packing up to head to shore.
We called into the Koombana sailing club on our way back last night for some light refreshments and ended up having the Friday night fare of fish, chips and salad. Quite a good meal for $12, come on Hillary's, this is the type of meal we would like when going to the monthly meeting. Not A La Carte at exhorbitant prices and no vegies to boot.
Frank was a bit ticked as he was going to cook us Spaghettie Bog, but I managed to convince him that fish and chips and no washing up was a pretty good deal, so both he and Bob caved finally.
We met another couple there who were from the Hillary's club but have their cat moored at Bouvard.
So apart from the malfunction of the transmission and some rocking and rolling when the large tankers are leaving with the tugs it has been quite a pleasant stay. I am part sorry to be leaving and heading home, but am convincing myself it will be nice to have a week to myself and the ground will be staying still.
