Day 42: Great Keppel Island

While Kim cooed over her washing machine, I made up the anti-chafe tubing for the bridle. I bring the lines back to the center cleats for maximum spring but this does allow some movement under load through a fairlead. The tubing should stop any chafing on the line.

Anti-chafe hose.

Also made up the lower part of a gate in the safety lines. I had some dyneema lying around, so I used that.

Dropped in on Gary and Penny for tea and date scones. Yum. On the way back, it was time to check the crab trap. After all this time, I finally scored a keeper - in large part due to Tim's pointers. It was big enough to eat and enough for a snack for two. We made it half of dinner.

Nice big crab.

After a deadly fight, it cooked up a treat.
