Day 34 - Tumby Bay to Port Lincoln

Beautiful sunrise...from my bed which was toasty warm, there wasn't much enthusiasm from me to go outside into the cold wind.

Into Port Lincoln Tourist Park right on the foreshore, a lot less wind, still cold but ok. Wayne investigated the Inverter problem and found that something had come adrift inside which shouldn't happen, he tested everything to make sure it wasn't a wiring/battery problem, rang Redarc to discuss and they organised a Auto Electrician in town to inspect it. He immediately deemed it dead. Redarc are sending a new one which we will pick up in Ceduna.

Next problem was to fix the cupboard, bigger screws will work temporarily until Wayne can do a permanent fix. The Gas bottle people got back to us and were organising a replacement cylinder, so we did another test of the 2 bottles and they both worked. Don't understand how they work sometimes and then they don't, we will test for a few more days to see if there is a pattern.

Poor Sandy smashed the front of her phone so she has arranged to have fixed tomorrow, lucky they could get a replacement screen so fast. Port Lincoln is a lot bigger than we realised, certainly larger than Whyalla.

Quick trip into town for some more port, found Father Port which Wayne has been dying to try, definitely warms you up from the inside. Made some plans for the next couple of days, going to the Information Centre for more info.

Sandy cooked a yummy Chicken dish and I cooked the Salmon Wayne caught, worked well.Read more
