Toilets, Dolphins and Engines

We're anchored at Garry's Anchorage on the west coast of Fraser Island tonight after a day dedicated to toilet repairs in Tin Can Bay yesterday. The evenings and mornings are chilly but not as cold as Brisbane.

We had dolphins swimming alongside us for a while in Wide Bay on the way to the bar. The bay was flat and the bar crossing was fine - we crossed a few hours after low tide and got a bit of left-right rolling as waves came through but the kids thought it was great.

Today's highlight was an oil-rag doing noisy laps of our (my!) engine in an engine belt. Lesson learned. Tomorrow we'll move onto White Cliffs about 1/3 of the way up the west coast of Fraser, visit the Ceratodus wreck and top up our water. And do our Friday tests, of course! The kids are doing well with their schooling so far.
