Cape Grenville to Portland Roads

Easy day south to Portland Roads I was hoping for internet but although there was a weak signal, only enough to send a few texts. Portland Roads is and interesting place, a little outpost a whole long way from nowhere. Greg moved the desalinator pump to a lower spot, seems to work OK now. He’s been busy all day.

Day 10

Portland Roads to Morris Island

Another great days motor sail, We passed a couple of resorts just south of Portland roads, clearly not meant for people of my income bracket. Serenaded Greg with the banjo and I think he is finally beginning to appreciate its musical quality, either that or he’s just being polite. He did hint that the banjo thing would stand up in court as reasonable grounds for murder.  Wonder if he’s hinting?

Greg hooked up a shark, which ate his favourite lure, and a big mack that got away again. Had good internet as we passed Archer River so dashed off a few emails while we could. The leg seems to be lifting in reverse so an email exchange reveals the the reverse lock needs a bungee to make it work and it has obviously snapped, mulling over that one….. We thought we might reverse ot up against the beach at Morris Isle and wade in to have a look, but croc slides on the beach made the idea less appealing so we abandoned that train of thought.
