After a relaxing sleep in we swung into plan B and called
our helpful friend Macca in Denham and explained our predicament and asked if
he could help us if we slipped him a few bucks.
Good old Macca came to the
rescue and picked us up, showed us all around the area, took us to the Denham
post office and returned us back to Monkey Mia with our new gold-plated Baileys
fuel card.

While walking along the foreshore back at Monkey Mia someone said “You two look
like yachties” and we looked around and a couple sitting down had a similar
waterproof bag as ours and it turned out they were from SV Anna Caroline
anchored offshore.
We chatted to Wietze and Janneke for several hours and they
were so interesting having come from the Netherlands, they had sailed all
around the world and were heading to Indonesia. We traded stories and laugh and
eventually parted ways.
Later in the afternoon we called them and asked them over
for dinner with us on Sirocco. It was a pleasant evening and we talked and
drank till very late in the evening when they disappeared into the night in
their tiny dingy.
