Thursday 4th August
Yesterday was another day of exploring the island followed by sundowners and a BBQ ashore on Middle Percy. A lot of the boats left yesterday morning and were replaced in the afternoon by another lot of boats. This meant different stories to be told over a glass or two of wine.
During the evening we all volunteered to help out fixing the leakey water pipeline and working in the veggie garden. Andrew was nominiated to drive everyone up the hill in the 4×4 in the morning. This time we were one of the last to leave, so we put out the fire and headed back to Imagine in the dark.
In the morning we were on the beach by 8:30am. A lot of the boats had left by this time. Greg and Vicki from Ocean Piper and Kate the owner of the island lease met us on the beach. That’s when we noticed all four tyres on the 4×4 were flat. On close inspection , some ass hole had removed the valves from the tyres overnight. It was obviously one of the boats that had left had done it. So Andrew and Sue went back to Imagine while Kate and the new manager (Carey) went back to the homestead to work out what they were going to do. Safia, Bram and Sandra joined Greg and Vicki walking up the hill following the pipeline to see if they could find the water leak.
Sandra was back early, but we didn’t hear from Safia and Bram till 3:30pm. They had spent all day helping out with the waterleaks and then the hives and honey.
Andrew got dinner prepped and we headed ashore and back to the A frame. Although there were 17 boats in the bay, only one other joined us at the BBQ.
We had finished dinner by dusk and in the dimming light we spotted several dolphins swimming between the boats. We put out the fire and headed back to Imagine. As we were all in the dinghy not far from Imagine the dolphins started jumping out of the water in front of us. What a great end to the day.
