Returned to the yacht at morning tea time, and after quite a chat we all went in the Tarago to the Big Pineapple which is now called the Sunshine Plantation. Had a fun morning taking the three kids on the train rides, and into the animal nursery enclosure where we saw pigs, goats, kangaroos, ducks, donkeys and a whole lot more.
Returned to Gabo Island for a barbecue lunch on board, although the barbecue was so slow we ended up cooking most of it inside. Seems that they are having a lovely time, and have adapted well to their new lifestyle. They've a lot more room than we do, and have all their facilities on board, but it does get colder and rougher. They still hope to get to Gove before the wet season, and have considered continuing to Indonesia and further.
After more chatting, we left them at about afternoon tea time, and took Brendan home for a sleep.
