Dinghy foot pump fix of yesterday worked this
morning, although I think will need some TLC to stay that way.
Yesterday afternoon John cleaned the keel starboard
side, this morning I did the port so whole boat has been finished. Now we shall
have to go down and do it all regularly then there should not be any build up
barnacles or green beard.
This afternoon we went up the rock at the end of Frigate
Island. We had to beach the dinghy a half mile from the rock to climb. The way
up the rock was not obvious and we often got scratched by the bushes as there
was no identifiable path/track and there was a reasonable amount of scrambling
up vertical rocks. The view around and down on to Rainmaker was
superb.
In the local town, Ashton all was not set up
visitors as hardly anyone has come this year. We did end up with food as they
went out especially to get some chicken for us as we did not fancy lobster. It
was a good evening just with locals and none of the tourist
trappings.
