We caught up with our friend for dinner, but we were all happy to cancel the sailing idea. Since arriving, the incessant wind and the confinement to port have started to get a little on the nerves. Today, we actually preferred to be in a shopping mall than at the marina. But the weather forecast has improved a little and it appears we can head off on Sunday rather than Monday. David's Achilles is feeling better. Mackay, on the other hand, is not. The downturn in mining has rather dampened the mood.
