We arrived in Bundaberg today after spending a couple of days at Fraser Island. On the way to Fraser Island the helm (steering wheel) started making a funny noise. When we got to Fraser Island, Andrew tried to oil it and discovered a bigger issue. We’ve now cut a “view door” in the helm pedestal so we can now see that the bearing needs replacing.
Being this close to Christmas, it may be an issue as many places have closed already. (There is an emergency tiller if it totally packs up but we don’t plan on going too far until we can get it sorted).
On the way up to Bundaberg we were meet by some dolphins jumping and frolicking across the bow.
