Tuesday 2 September
Woke up in the morning to find the fridge freezer not working. Fault light on it signified that it wasn’t getting enough power. Checked the new meter that Nick had put in and sure enough, the deep cycle battery was down to 11 volts. Coffee and double happy tablets and a good hard think and I started to put the spare battery in to replace it. Started the job at 0730 and had it installed by 1100 hrs, not bad for me. Now I’ll watch and see if this one has any problems, I guess that would mean the it not being charged. After that good effort, I though GOD would reward me with a big buck mud crab .It was a buck but 4 inches across. Moved out of the mangroves to the front of the inlet and had a walk along the beach, pumped some yabbies and put on kidneys a-la –holly for dinner. Still getting phone reception but it very dicey and drops out quickly. There is 7 other boats in the inlet and the nearest one in price to mine is about 300,000.00 more, but they’re not doing anything different to me. Strong wind warning just been issued, I might be here for a few days. Anchored in the first in for the night.
