Day 28 Wed 8 Jun 16, Port Lincoln SA, weather in a word, windy, 9 to 17 deg. At least it was sunny most of the day. A wild night in PL, with rain and wind gusts rocking the van. Finally got up at 2:30am and pulled the awning down as it was rattling and threatening to detach from the van. First up in the morning Greg took the BT50 in to have the locking bolt on the tow bar re-attached. The new tow bar had been installed in Hervey Bay when we bought the truck so we hope the rest of it is solid. Such a tiny job just to weld a bolt onto the tow bar, took about two minutes. However the guy at PL Mechanical and Exhaust was so good, actually moved a car off one of his pits and did it immediately. Country people are like that. That job out of the way we took off on our later than usual morning walk along the foreshore. Lots of birds and plenty to see in the water with fishing boats coming and going in the rather choppy bay water. 4km. Wendy picked today as an Army work day as it wasn't very nice in the strong winds. Wise move as Greg headed into town for an art gallery tour and see a few things we didn't do yesterday. The wind just got worse with gusts up to 65km/h so it was ************* foot. A good day to be indoors. Having seen everything he wanted Greg was literally blown home. Another walk into town to pick up a few groceries. The wind actually got stronger, if that's possible. Good to have that out of the way and be warm and dry in the van. Roast chicken and veggies for dinner; just what the doctor ordered.
