These beautiful large birds are called ibises. However, the locals find them highly annoying because they come into the restaurants and picnic areas to scrounge food including jumping up on tables and getting too close to diners.

We relaxed most of the day until the afternoon when the first set of interested buyers came by to look at the boat. We went for a walk until the broker called us to return to talk with the possible buyers who were favorably impressed with the boat but are also looking at other catamarans on the market. Dream Caper looks terrific but it is difficult living in a showroom which we have to always keep neat and clean just in case someone wants to take a tour. We've taken to "having a tub" Australian slang for taking a shower on shore so we don't have to keep cleaning our shower on board. We congratulated ourselves for enduring the first set of possible buyers and had a nice dinner at a local Thai restaurant.
