Left Cape Flattery at first light, neither of us had a good night so we took turns grabbing cat naps. No wind so we motored to Cooktown and arrived around mid day.
We jumped in the tinny eager to hit the laundromat, pub and supermarket. We ended up at the bowls club for lunch and had a crackin meal in air conditioned comfort. Greg has suffered with the heat a fair bit, I keep telling him it’s only spring, wait till summer.
Next to the supermarket where we got much needed supplies, then a cab to the boat ramp and back to the boat. The reverse lock on Nysa had ceased function so he drove it up on a sand bar and jumped out for a look. A quick repair and we revrsed off the bar and went to to fuel dock for water and fuel, a very productive day and we were now set for the final run to Townsville. Woo-hoo!
I was surprised at how nice Cooktown is, lots of colonial architecture and a nice small town atmosphere, lots of pubs!
