Day 12: Tangalooma

In keeping with getting as much stuff working as possible, I sorted out the water maker. One of the fittings had corroded but Rainman, who have outstanding after sales support, sent replacements and a tool to remove the old one. Procedure went well and, after a bit of buggering about, we were back in the water business and I put about 50 litres in the tank.

Went ashore to dump rubbish, get fuel and do a bit of shopping. The tide goes out fast at Dunwich but Carolyn and Walt were on hand to help. Between the three of us, we manhandled both dinks in and out of the water. The guys also helped with the loading.
Pushed straight off for a 5 hour run to Tangalooma. Known for its wrecks, resort and dolphin feeding, we are trying to decide if the weather tomorrow will make for a good run to Mooloolaba. Conference shortly.

First time we had one of Cat Play's sails up.

Motor-sailing again, this time on the other tack. In front is our buddy-boat.
