Wednesday 3th November
For the past week we have taken shelter in Seven Mile Creek that runs off Rodd Harbour, just south of Gladstone. The river is a brown silty river with zero visibility. Sue tried fishing for dinner. After the fourth shark breaking (chewing through) the line, Sue had had enough. We heard there was large reptiles with sharp teeth frequenting the rivers around here.
With the crocs and the sharks, swimming was off the agenda. So what do you do while sheltering from a gale force wind for 6 days? Well, there is card games, Pass the Pigs, watching movies, or if you are Lydia you sand down the cockpit cabin ready to be painted when the wind dies.
If you come home I have lots of building work you can do in 40 deg heat
Sanding is good arm exercises.
