Up early and left for Dawesville cut, a pretty good sail and arrived early afternoon. Frank was cook that night and cooked up a big batch of spaghetti bolognaise. We were pretty tired, so after downing that with a nice glass of red it was decided to head for our bunks and call it a day.
Off again early next morning and had a dream run until we were about an hour off Hillary's when we got word that a storm was brewing. The sky was looking very ominous, so the sails were dropped and motor on and the decision to head into Hillary's to be on the safe side. I contacted Jan and told her we were on our way in and she booked us onto the VIP jetty and her and Mike were there to help us tie up.We sat outside Pinky's and had a refreshing cold drink and then into the shower. What bliss to stand under a warm shower and wash my hair. Certainly appreciate showers so much more after sailing.
A buffet was on at the club that night, so after a visit to "Fully Involved" and another cold drink, we all decided to join up and have the buffet.
Headed back to the boat and hit the bunk, the next thing I knew daylight was streaming through the hatch.
It was time then after brekky to untie and head back to Mindarie. The sea was totally flat, no wind to talk of so it was on with the iron sail and motor back. I helmed for most of the way and found it quite easy under the conditions and with a landmark to go by.
Kat was on the jetty to help tie up when we arrived, then Laura arrived to pick up Bob. I made a scratch lunch for us and now it's time to pack up and head home after a delightful week on the water.
