We had a pleasant surprise during the day when Stuart and Sheila from Image swung by. We’ve not seen Sheila since French Polynesia when she flew home to see grandkids. Stuart was able to help me get the dinghy down to the ground as the lines weren’t long enough to reach.
This was the first day we finished all the items on the list for the day including one tacked on as we had time. We paid a visit to Bunnings to pick up a few bits and pieces. I wanted some 3 in one oil so I bought 2. I thought it was mildly funny. We then headed off for a pleasant walk along the river to stretch our legs and get some real exercise. Rather than cook back on the boat we opted for some fish and chips.
I’ve been adding more items, mostly smaller items so they’re not forgotten, to the project list. That pushed the list back onto two pages which was mildly annoying. That was easy to fix. I made my list into two columns.
