We finish off our job of delivery the Bavaria 44 from Mackay to Bundaberg…we are still all getting along by the end of it. We tie her up and get her sparkling clean for her new owner to rock up. But the adventure isn’t over yet, we need to get back to Mackay to pick up our car, so we have booked an overnight bus…After eating cheese on a public toilet park bench the bus finally arrives and we realise we have booked the bus for the wrong day…being 12 AM the bus driver was nice enough to have us onboard and we began the journey overnight to Mackay where our car is waiting patiently. We then make our way back to Nakama. Once back, we begin the process of making Nakama look great again, by fixing up her bent stanchion and servicing the wind generator. Although it doesn’t sound like much, these are the small steps for getting Nakama ready to go remote in a few months. We also hear from our friends that have done the top end of Australia on the best cruising guides and they also settle our nerves to some of things we are wondering.
