On leaving Sydney we took down our only Chrissy deco (thanks Karen for the pressie) in case it got broken and headed to Pittwater, anchoring at Brisbane Waters. We can't believe this is the first time we have been here! We have had Samurai moored in Pittwater for the last three years and never explored this area and will definately be back.
This morning we woke to a grey day at 6.30am ready for our next jump to Lake Macquarie, 40 nautical miles up the coast. Being back in familiar waters and the experience gained sailing to Eden and back had lifted our confidence and we now intended to cross two bars, navigate a narrow channel and pass through a bridge! No problem!!
I'm writing this in Wangi Wangi a small bay in Lake Macquarie: we never imagined how huge the area was with several sailing clubs, RSLs and Marinas so we won't be spoilt for anchorages.
Below is Swansea bridge that we called the coast guards to open for us in order to get through to Lake Macquarie.
