I needed to visit Kangaroo Island to fix the deranged shower screen
door on our rental house. But first I had to visit the Stegbar people
and learn how to fix it (it has three panels- two that move- and my
first attempt had convinced me it was some sort of executive puzzle
that I hadn't yet cracked). The Navigator wasn't coming because she
was buried in statistics and SPSS (learning both at the same time- I
could have shot her lecturers!) and was stuck-so I needed to help her
so she'd have work to do while I was away. The Stegbar people had to
come first on Saturday morning and they opened at 9:00am, meaning I'd
have to fly down in the late morning, overnight at sis's place and
return early on Sunday.
On Saturday morning we discovered that the fridge had failed. I called
the fridge emergency people, bolted down some brekkie, raced to
Stegbar's, received good advice and a few spare parts, raced home, and
discovered the fridge mechanic still hadn't arrived. I worked through
some of the problems with the navigator, watched the fridge mechanic
spend $360 fixing the fridge, then (finally) examined the weather
forecast.
It wasn't good. A southerly bringing moist air over Flurieu Peninsula
was generating scattered showers and low stratus -1200' to 1500'- in ...

You must have been a bit off track - or did you mean the eastern end :)

Anyway, having floundered around in the murk in that very area too many
times, I can appreciate the "fun" you had. Hope you had IFR in case it
all went pear-shaped :)

Spot on. I realised the error when I re-read the story after posting
