Tuesday 17 June
Left Turkey Beach and ran up to Gladstone counted 14 ships waiting out to sea. We were amazed at the number of huge factories, port infrastructure ext. 
While going past one ship my phone rings, its River Rat (Shane Olsen) a mate of my son, Roy. It was his first day on a bulk carrier that goes to Weipa and back carrying bauxite. He was being shown the lifeboat when past sails Holly. Shane and Roy were on Holly when I picked her up from Brisbane and also on a few sea trial trips. He called around for a beer later that night.
We found a mooring at Gladstone marina, $20.00 a night. Its a beautifull setting at the marina ,lots of gardens and nice people.
On Thursday Gary and I caught the train home for a few days leave. I will pick up the Blog when I return to Holly

Hey Mate
Still keeping following your trip, still having a great time I see. Mick De Souza is hopefully going to make it to Melbourne and the reunion in Adelaide with me
Take Care

Hello Edward, Your blog is inspiring, I want to come too. Perhaps I can bring Richard for a holiday now that I have sold my house, he would love it for sure. Perhaps I will check airfares right now! Your photos are very good, naturally! Keep up the fun. Love Penny x
