Day 278 Saturday 6/1/17
Wind SE 15-20 Sea 2m

Caught a taxi to the Hobart Park Run. 160 runners and Elise was the first female and Luke came third. I went ok with 26 minutes.

Pick up the new radar cable from Whitworth's on the way back and got dropped off at the Salamanca markets. Had a look around then Elise and Luke walked back to the boat while Angela and I did some shopping in town. Had some coffee and cake at BJs on our way back.

Checked that the radar was working ok by temporarily hooking up the cables.

Had dinner and then Luke, Angela and I went to the casino for a bit of a flutter. Played black jack, roulette and the chocolate wheel. Had fun and lost $70 but overall a good nights entertainment.

Day 279 Sunday 7/1/17
Wind SE 15-20 Sea 2m

Caught the bus to Kingston beach and borrowed Drunken bike so that Luke could ride up ant Wellington. Elise went for a run while we had coffee with Owen and then went for a walk.

Luke got back at 13:30 and was pretty stuffed from the ride snd heat.

Went back to the boat for a test.

Bought some groceries at Woolies and then had salmon for dinner. Had a beer at the club before bedtime.

Day 273 Monday 8/1/17
Wind SE 5-10 Sea 1m

Radar installation day! Gathered all the gear for the job. Went up the mast and drilled out the damaged pop rivets, attached the foot bracket with monel rivets. Lubed up the new extension cable after attaching it to the existing cable and then pushed it from the top while Luke pulled the old cable from the bottom. Went through ok but was tight at the bottom. Raised the dome using the spinnaker halyard and a control line and attached it to the feet using new bolts and duralac. Finally tied a safety rope around the dome and spreaders. Put a new data cable through to the mfd. Plan worked like a charm!

Elise and Luke went for a run while we took Owen for coffee and cake.

Luke and I went to see "Passenger" at the movies while Angela and Elise did some shopping.

Went to Hogs Breath cafe for dinner because Elise likes their Vegan choices and I like the steak topped with ribs! I agreed to turn Vegan as long as Elise goes to mass. I don't think it's going to happen.😀

Day 274 Tuesday 9/1/17
Wind SE 15-20 Sea 2m

Took Owen up to the coffee shop and met up with Tony (Luke's Dad), Linda and Hayden Babic who were spending the day in Hobart as part of a cruise 🚢. Went back to the boat and motored up to Prince of Wales Bay marina t drop Tony and Linda close to the Mona museum.

Sailed back to the Royal and said a sad goodbye to Elise, Luke and Owen as they headed back home.

Had a nice dinner with Tony and Linda at the T42 restaurant before Angela had one last $50 fling at black jack in the Casino. It didn't take long to lose.
