Clarence River -- Iluka

Hi there, we spent 17 nights in Port Stephens Had a good look around the area, public transport was good. Good walking tracks.Climbed Mt Tomaree to the lookout, great view. Met some fellow sailors and did some entertaining on board.
In all enjoyed the stay.
Left Nelson Bay at 7.15am Sunday 17th June with a good westerly breeze. Had a great sail, motor sailed during the night. Early morning sailed until the wind dropped off then motored to Coffs Habour, at anchor by 5.15pm, tided up, early dinner,early night, up at 4am and sailed to Iluka (on the Clarence River). Crossed the bar at 3.30pm. Anchored at about 4pm
We did this trip in the company of Roseanne & Sea Bird, It was great having their company, as they encouraged John to do more sailing with out the motor.



The best I could do, that is a whale
