Day 20: Kingfisher, Fraser Island

Lazier day than usual. I planned to get up and snorkel on the props and hull. Had a quick look at the props and there are a few barnacles worth scraping. The saildrive legs could do with a clean as well. The rest of the hull looks good but I could wipe it over to get the slime off for a check. Ended up not doing anything because the current is too strong to work in the water. What I need is a very calm anchorage, clear water and to anchor in shallow enough water to wade in. Maybe up the coast a bit.

Task: Turn this lot into a working anchor system.

As the diving didn't work out, I put the secondary anchor together. Looks good.

All good to go.

Met up with Carolyn and Walt for lunch ashore. Went through the wetlands to the main pool for a swim & spa. Lunch at the Sand Bar was the totally excellent pizza.
