I had occasion to drive to Brisbane from Bundaberg to pick up my new kerosene stove, swap cars with my son and to put more value in the trip, stop at Whitworths at Kawana and spend $200 on my boat. That all done I thought I would do a bit of "sea gulling" around Mooloolaba.

That of course means swinging by Lauries Marina where I had a chat with Greg Gilliam the rigger, asked about Nick Cox the broker who SirGallivant bought his Adams 28 through after he got me to check it out first, The Wharf marina and the yacht club marina.

On my way to the Wharf I took a few photos. The anchorage looks to be quite full and rejecting the odd yacht.

My $600 anchor is just out from there deep in the MUD!

How is old Nick? Have you seen him?

Hey Cisco
Sounds like a great score with that kero stove, as mentioned I got parts for my stove from Tilley lamps and stoves, Julian is pretty helpful, seems to have a good range, reasonable prices and it was a quick delivery time.

I must have just missed you Cisco. I was there on Thursday as well. Around 6:00pm
