Yesterday: Well, we had to ditch the top quality alternator and buy another one. Bevan transported us around Iluka, we had lovely fresh fish and chips at the pub yesterday and then Bevan came out for dinner aboard the windChalmer. We told him that we hoped he could cope with the riotous party life with us LOL.
Slept in today, then Ian attached the new alternator and did all sorts of things like solder up wires to a globe for the charging of the batteries. I held the solder iron - nothing like learning new skills at my age lol. I cleaned and knitted etc and enjoyed the sun. We popped into the fisherman's coop for a few things and they have the best fresh fish (the other one is the Newcastle Fish Coop), so we shared a fisherman's basket for lunch. So fresh and tasty.
Ian has always wanted to learn how to collect beach worms, so Bevan picked us up at 3 pm and took us to the beach - most amazing lovely afternoon. Camera was on the boat! Yamba headland and lighthouse at one end of the boat and Iluka bluff at the other. Was so lovely and relaxing. Bevan cooked dinner for us and we boarded windChalmer early to do some packing up for the journey on Wed.
Bevan has given me FIVE custard apples - yum. Haven't had a decent one for years. Great.
Midnight - Ian chatted animatedly to me for about an hour until I gave him a couple of panadols and said, go to sleep. Funny how you get wound up at times and the mind won't shut down.
