Port Lincoln

24-3-2011

Last day here and we are going to the Dentist first off. I have a chip tooth eating chocolate covered coffee beans which l am now sucking the chocolate off.
John for root canal therapy, his is much more major than mine. Poor thing every time we go away he ends up at the Dentist, he will have a few more trips to the Dentist before he is through.

After picking up the car from the mechanic, which we had grease and oil and they managed to get a bit more out of us. And we are finished with the Dentist.

Back to our driving around. We have stopped at a Tourist spot telling about the fishing and boat building history of the area. This is an Italian area and a very rich area. In 1928 two men decided to get off a ship they were working on and started their own boat building. The gentlemen who first found the area was Axel Stenroos who and his friend Frank Laakso had a booming boat building business.Axel had a girlfriend for 30 years and married her when he was 60 and she was 48  he died when he was 84 and they didn't have any children.

MAKYBE DIVA has a monument in the centre of town. Although he had never been here himself but his owners come from Port Lincoln. All that money again. The owner now has the Tuna farm business here and doing very well so we here from the locals.

Couldn't resist adding Johnny as the captain of the fleet. We are both enjoying ourselves and he doesn't look to bad after having his tooth fixed.
