We are back in Port Bundaberg Marina. Spent all afternoon Saturday pulling the outboard apart and cleaning water and sand out of the engine. It had already started to seize by the time we got here. I have it starting and have run it for a fair length of time, so hopefully all is well. Don’t want that type of character building experience again.

Only one weeks work here, so not a lot of time to restock the boat and get ready for our next leg north, although we are looking forward to warmer weather. Very cold here at the moment. Saturday is our planned departure day.
