Another day spent at John Martin's campground in Port Lincoln. Yesterday we bought a few bits we needed to complete a couple of minor repairs and today we did the repairs. As usual Elaine did her cleaning, the never ending job as well, as helping me with the van repairs.

Then I went to the Alex Stenhouse Maritime Museum while Elaine did some washing in the parking area. The museum was well worth the effort as it was a well put together collection of maritime artefacts, small boats, etc. It brought back a few memories as amongst other things there was was a heavy weight sharpie and old Seagull outboards both of which I have had at some time in the past. There was also a lot of half models of all sorts of sailing craft, which is always interesting, together with a lot of maritime history pertaining to this part of the world. On top of all that there was the history of the man and the tools of the boat building trade.

After that we went and had a quick look at the local marina which is just another canal developement and full of commercial fishing vessels. After that back to our camp to hide from the wind and rain that is developing here.
