Listening to the weather forecast this morning Mike decides that the approaching weather front really doesn’t look very pleasant and that we might be better to head out tomorrow and get ahead of the worst of it. To that end we go into town to get the last of our supplies and find out about filling up with diesel and water.
St George is like a ghost town. There are more people in cars than walking around, and that’s not saying much. Only two little shops and the supermarket are open.
We get our supplies, head back to the boat and get on with our respective little jobs for passage preparation. I tidy, clean and change the bed, making up the stern cabin as well – just in case – and Mike does things with oil and engines.
Although there is now no time to explore this little island, neither of us feel cheated. We have seen so many beautiful small islands – more beautiful in fact - that this is not a big deal.
Tomorrow, we sail again.
