A 3 Hour Seachange



Today I went to Port Augusta with Bryan Blanks for a criuse in the gulf as part of his Carers relief Retreat. There were 16 men on board which was just a comfortable number for the boat, though they say they can cater for up to 40. When we arrived the Police were on board and we found out that a group of vandals had boarded the boat and caused over $5000.00 damage, but fortunately it didn't have any effect on our trip. Got a bit choppy out in the bay near the shacks but apart from that the cruise was very relaxing. Came home to go straight to the hospital to help out with an Ambulance transfer down to the airstrip. When we got there found that Darryl had finished reaping the paddock and all we have left is the house paddock but at this stage doubt if we will reap more than 50 acres. Only reapt 90 acres out of 400 at Sandlands looked OK from a distance but very little when we started reaping the paddock. So harvest will be seed and maybe 8 tonne of wheat to sell.

Should have added that the loads of wheat we are delivering are just small 7 tonne loads in our own truck.
