We planed to moved further into Pancake Creek after breakfast. Martin did his normal engine checks before turning then on, but found a belt was fraying and losing chunks off it. Not a problem we don't have far to go we will use one motor. Done all is good, we get in there found a nice area to anchor for our stay here. Time to relax and enjoy our next anchorage, after Martin replaced the belt of course.
After lunch we thought we would take the tender and have a look around the area. This sounds easy I know, but the motor wouldn't start, our reliable 2 stroke Yamaha 3HP, so sad. Martin spent the afternoon trying to fix it. In the mean time Col & Molly (they are from one of the boats we traveled with from Bundaberg) came to organize sundowners for 4.30 on the sandbank. We will be there even if we have to paddle the tender there.
At 4 o'clock we were starting to organize what to take to sundowners (Wine or Beer) when we looked up to found our American neighbors boat getting very close to us. Not happy with this anchorage any longer we decided to move our boat before sundowners and dark. Now that we have found a nice area to anchor for our stay here, it's time to relax and enjoy our next anchorage.
Time to paddle to sundowners and meet more of our neighbors. Had a great time. Bonus we found 2 mechanics that are happy to help fix the dinghymotor.
