Onwards
THURSDAY 27 to SUNDAY 30 NOVEMBER
Still here, going slightly stir-crazy. Jeff’s been fishing nearly every day and caught several sqid, so quite frequently it’s been calamari for tea – yum. I’ve been able to take out temporary membership of the small library in town, so have had plenty to read. I’ve also been doing a bit of pyrography. Still haven’t found any suitable wood for carving, though. It’s all too hard for whittling. The pool here is very nice and so we’ve been going for a swim every couple of days, especially as the weather has been so kind to us. All around Oz there has been rain and hail and all sorts of nasty weather, but here in the Shark Bay area we’ve had glorious sunshine nearly all the time. The wind has still been blowing well, but it dows help to keep the temperature bearable.
Betty G Update. At one stage Geoff thought he would have to ship an engine all the way from Sydney (!!!!) but that one wasn’t suitable. Now he has his sights on two engines in Denham that he thinks he could use to make one good one. We’ll just have to wait and see.
