Thursday 7 February Maritime Museum II

made from tinnies
The early part of the week has been spent on boat fixing jobs; Monday a trip out on the bus to a large hardware / DIY shop for bits and then we ordered a replacement freshwater or coolant circulation pump to fix a slow leak and with the potential of a complete failure when we're in Indonesia decided to do it now and not wait. It arrived next day and David began the fitting this afternoon.
This morning we had a second visit to the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. A week ago we spent four hours on a 'see it all' ticket and didn't have time to visit the main exhibition gallery, not a problem as first Thursday of the month and the gallery is free entry. We had another two hours to wander around and see the collection – a particularly thought provoking account of the '98 Sydney Hobart race which was struck by a storm which is something we aim to avoid. Of course there were educational and fun exhibits too including a raft made out of beer cans – only in Australia!
