Day 90: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Shopping day - parts and feet.

Took the ferry into Townsville and got a day pass for the bus. First stop was Repco where I had globes for the engine panels put aside. Back on the bus to the Stockland shopping centre.and I dropped Kim off at the nail bar for some strange female voodoo thing and beat a hasty retreat. Back on the bus to Domain, a light industrial area and shop outlet. Picked up fittings to remount the alternator - this time, I hope, permanently.
There's always a Bunnings.

Then the fun stuff. Went to Tackle World and got a reel of braid line for the overhead reel. I'm hoping for fewer line breaks and a reduction in the loss of tackle. It would be nice to land some fish, too. I've been having some luck with barra spoons so I got a few of those.
Making use of the excellent Townsville buses. Plenty of them, inexpensive, and helpful drivers.

Back at Stockland, I found Kim with different coloured toenails and we had lunch. Back on the bus to the ferry, and we got back to the beach in time for a swim. A busy, and productive, day.

Where the fever comes from.

Back on Cat Play and the army and / or navy came to visit.

Moonrise at Horseshoe Bay.
