Blue Water marina
Cairns Qld
We are paying the price for our exertions yesterday…achey
limbs!
But it all went well.
2XS sat gallantly on the little beach while we
scrubbed and scrubbed at her hulls. No crocodiles
emerged from the murky water to terrorise us.

| Restoring the hulls to rusty red |
The slime and grime was relatively easy to scrub off.

| Just a bit more under and then around the corner |
Pete’s shorts did not survive…
We were back on our F13 pontoon a bit after five.
Time for a beer (and ultimately dinner) with Neighbour
Ken, who brought us some Doritos and a roast chicken.
He had some very funny stories…One not so funny but memorable
involved 5 kilos of frozen prawns which he left in the freezer on his beautiful
Outremer (catamaran) Alkina while he went back to Melbourne for a few weeks…The
power went off and when he returned he found his lovely boat two inches deep in
maggots which had been thriving on the ooze seeping out of the freezer…Pete
went pale when he heard this.
