Day 108: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

I've started making these as a past time on the boat. This is a Kim prototype in colours similar to Cat Play. It would be nice to be able to sell them and break even. Have to see if there is a market.

Dinghy Chaps - Example

Out on a walk, I came across this dinghy anchored on the beach. Same make as our, next size down by the look of it, and with very similar fittings and mount points. When I make chaps for ours during the off-season, I could do a lot worse than follow this.



Day 107: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Took the bus to Arcadia to visit the Rock Wallabies. Lovely little guys who come down for food at dusk. Dead cute, and some will eat from your hand. Some have joeys as well.

Everybody smiles.

Day 106: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

The Arcadia Hotel has a laundromat so we took the bedding over for a spruce-up. Mostly working, the washers and driers were up to the task.

Mysterious Machines.
Had lunch at the hotel while we were there.

Day 105: Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island

Fishing. Seemed like a good idea; motor north out of the bay with the fish finder doing its thing. On finding a shoal, drop in a line and load up the freezer.

Fish caught = 0

Line out - no bites.
Rainbow Lorikeet - like to hang out with the tourists.
Curlew - also like tourists.
