Airlie Beach Chores
  This morning came to a bit of a
useless end. Bear walked up to borrow a marina trolley, loaded six empty diesel
cans and off we bimbled to the fuel dock. Bear went to the office to find out
the way to pay and was told it was a strict policy that no full cans could be
trundled in a trolley. He nipped into the electrical shop and bought a new
aerial for the AIS as at present it’s shared with the radio that doesn’t like
it. Bear parked the trolley, popped into the Volvo place and bought me a new
engine hours dial – why it’s mine, don’t ask I didn’t. Then between us we
carried the empties back home...........
The rest of the day I kept myself
busy about the estate and Bear got stuck in to my new dial that involved
handfuls of pretty coloured wires. It has been
on the blink since we arrived in New Zealand. At least the job is going well as
I got a big cheesy grin which got even
cheesier after lunch when he beat me five one at
backgammon..........
  My new
dial does look rather smart. Then it was shower time as we had been
invited at five o’clock to sundowners on Wishful Thinking, also on the
Indonesian Rally. We were thrilled to meet Rick and Val (Arkaydes),
reacquaint with Andy and Trish (Sengo first met at the Middle Percy
BBQ) and our hosts on WT – Mick and Gin who we immediately thought we
would have a good laugh with at the rally ‘dos’. The boys talked maintenance and
electricals and all seemed to have the same hassles as Bear. The ladies had a
real chuckle so the boys joined in too.
ALL IN ALL A PRODUCTIVE DAY
AND FUN NIGHT
GREAT TO MEET LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR
