A short hop, 15 nautical miles up the coast to Port Macquarie. We were slightly more anxious about the bar crossing at the entrance than usual as we read in the cruising guide this bar can produce more rogue waves than most, thankfully it was really calm so no drama's. In true Aussie fashion we flew the flag on Australia Day only to be out done by a group of parachutists that gave us quiet a fright landing right beside us on the beach. The day got pretty busy as small boats jostled for position to watch the days entertainment which was raft racing down the channel and bands. Just as we were taking in the sights along came party barge anchoring right in front of us. We must be getting old as we decided to head back to the boat for some peace and quiet, really sad! Next stop Coffs Harbour in a couple of days.
I'm enjoying the blogs. I hope Archie enjoyed the meat tray, he was looking skinny there for a sec!

Hi M
ReplyDeleteArchie is doing much better on the boat, a real sailor. I think the turn around happened with the calmer weather and the dolphins popping up. He even fell in the marina yesterday just following the fish! Don't get alarmed with A's appearance he's just had a clip, much cooler :)
