Day 24

Wow...
Its been a while.

We are at Bundaberg but I realised that I wrote a long post that decided to disapear so I will try to do it all again

Fraser:
Woke up at Garrys anchorage, everyone had left
Took Oceans for a walk at fraser, what a lovely spot
We all had a play and realised we had to leave on high tide
I freaked out as usuall
B took us right throught sand styraights on mid tide, we touched quickly at one spot and that was it
He did a great job, al on the gps
















Quick anchor and lunch and the we headed up to kingfisher Bay Resort.
Wow really nice place
Oceans went for a play with B and I cleaned up
I wanted to head over to the resort for a Pinja Colada
Lillte dingy to the beach, pased the wreck.
Really strange.
The wreck is right infron of the jetty.
You wouldnt want to get there at night and think you can tie up to the jetty.
It was high tide so we pulled the dingy up as far as we could on the beach and tied on to a floating mooring.
Walked up and found our way to the resort.
Walking throught feeling that we did something we where not aloud to do.
B walks throught the door to enter the pool area and someone yells out.
O no we thinking someone is going to tell us of.
There he is, Bs friend from Manly.
Here on holidays with the family.
Whats the chanses to bump in to someone on fraser.
Havent seen them for about a years and they have a new baby and they got married.
Wife took him away from his friends to have some family time and there we are...
Order some drinks at the bar and time to pay.
I got the wallet but not my card.
Had to run back to the dingy, drag the dingy down the water and rush back to the yacht.
Back to the beach again, pulled the dingy up and ran back.
B is in the spa bath...
and there we stayed for a couple of hours.
Then free hot shower and the we had a bucket of prawns and beers.
Delicious
Saw the dolphines at the wharf
 and then dinner time with frinds.
When it was time to go back to the dingy oops
High tide.
Dingy was in the middle of the ocean almost
Pitch black and in fraser with heaps of sharks in the water
Luckily the kayak rental place didnt lock their kayaks up so the hero B paddled out on a kayak and got the dingy.
Good work kapten!

Woke up to a just stunning morning.
Mirror like on the water and no wind.
Just beautiful!

Anchor up and of we went to reach Bundaberg before dark.

And it was not a VANLIG DAG FOR DET VA B FODELSEDAG HURRA HURRA HURRA


Been at Bundaberg Port Marina for a week.
Really good marina but a week is a long time.
Absolutely great neighbours on both sides,LUCKY!
Windana, what great company.
Lovely dinners, great laugh and yes its been great speniding some time with just faboulus people.
And Oceans got so looked after by Lizzy. So he wasnt very happy to leave.

Now we are anchored in the river next to a Pirate Ship, Rainbow Gipsy

Been doing some fixing up on Oceans so she looks lovely

Absolutely great service from IGA Burnett Heads. They drowe me all the way back to the Marina with our groceries.
I almost had a heart attack when I had to pay for the foor. Definetily paid convinien price on it all but I did get a lift home worth about $50 so I guess that was ok.
Sound like an old lady complaining about foor prices. GET OVER IT!

So aperently Panncake creek is the next place.
Not sure whats so nice about it but we will soon find out.

So Bundaberg;
good prices marina with good facilities
great take away place for breaky
good seafood shop
and if your lucky, great neighbours

I learnt to never ever buy sarparilla or what ever its called.
Thats the worst drink I ever tried in my life.
Taste like the medicine you take when you have a sore throuth.
Yurk!
O well I well as B said, You will only buy it ones.
Someone must love it, they have been making it for 100 years, strange

Massive suger factory in Bundaberg.
B wont belive that we have sockerbetor back home. Here they have suger cane...
Strange on this side of the plannet sometimes
