27.. Denham

So we arrive in Denham, nice little place all on the beach side ..
There is according to google an IGA Express .. (usually small, attached to a fuel station & expensive) and a supermarket ..
Keith asks if I want to go into town with them and so I said yup and got all dressed, not much to wear since my clothes are all still wet and need a wash … so there was quite a gap between the wharf and the boat .. so I was looking around the see how I could easier get on the dock, and thought the ladder might work lying down so I got Graham to get it and see, well keith wasn’t so happy with that and looked around further … found a smaller ladder just the right size and put his fish chopping board on the side of it and secured it with zip ties .. it worked really really well … so off to town we go … going over the boards on the dock was weird … not all even ... we needed to go to the council to fill in some paper work .. the girls at Carnarvon that deal with this were both off so we had a few things we had to do … they must have called one in … as we got the bitchy end of the stick … all the paperwork done and as they weren’t expecting anyone else they said we could tie up at the wharf … for a couple days… then of course up comes the insurance policy, knowing ours is only 5 million I write to the company and ask them to double it as that is the requirements right down the west side of Australia..(some east coast marinas won’t accept that insurance company at all ) sheesh…

So the lady asks for the copy of the insurance … I was going to ask to send it along the next day, since we’d just got the proposal for the upped amount and so on but …hang on … I can’t get a word in edgewise this bird is going of her tree about the dealings in exmouth and how we got kicked outta there … this bird just wouldn’t listen at all … so I just grrrrr and shut up while keith next to me started saying my wife was trying to tell you… and he didn’t get much further than that… so she finished her speech… saying she would send an email to me … and I could email those papers back … oh I nearly when right off on her but I didn’t … kept it civil since my hunny was watching … before all of this we’d had a lovely wander around town and the shops had a huge steak for lunch and what an awesome steak it was too … so full I could not eat any dinner … and off to bed with us … nice n early …
The shops are quaint … same as Exmouth very small and no big shops …. But such different shops around…
