Sunday 7 September
Engine Hours 1093
Total Fuel 377 Litres
Total Hours 313 hours
Up early, greasy breakfast , always good for a hangover. Wished good morning to the neighbours, as I headed out to Collins Island . Stopped at Mumford Island for a brew. The likely lads finally arrived and started fishing near me. They started catching red jewfish on the drift, so as I went past I had a drift and picked up one for dinner. Changed plans, decided to head for Stanage Bay, as the day was just perfect. Arrived at 1400 hrs and went ashore to Plume Tree Bay post office, hotel, store, service station and takeaway all in one shop. Hoping for a draft beer but like Adavale, only stubbies. The problem is that they only have tank water. The towns twice as big as Adavale population of 45. Rang my four sons for father’s day and couldn’t raise any of them. I just hope that they keep my presents for me! Ferried out a jerry can of fuel for Holly and then settled in for a couple of beers with the locals. Went to leave and the tide had gone out and left Polly stranded, so back to the pub to enlist the help of locals to pull her out to the water. Back to Holly, managed to get onboard without falling in, retired happy as another achievement of the trip achieved, have a beer in the Crab Bar at Stanage Bay Hotel.
