Car had to be back at 10.30am so we started at Whitworths for a few odds and sods before doing the shopping.

| Main beach at Mooloolaba. Good for a swim - though not at the heads end. Rocks! |
Bill & Linda (Valiam) came down for a concert and we were able to have lunch with them.
 |
| Replacing the alternator. |
After lunch I started on the alternators. Port fitted easily but I found a broken alternator mounting bracket on the starboard engine. Bill was kind enough to run me around to Aqua-Tec who welded it back together for $20. Back on the boat, both alternators seem to be working fine. I will be testing them over the next few days.

Out of curiosity I put an ammeter on the inverter D.C. input while running the microwave. 120amps! That's not 800W. The label on the microwave suggests a high power rating so Kim decided to swap it out. A smaller 700W model seems to be better.
Replaced a section of the ratted wind sender cable and now these instruments seem to work.
