Hi there, we left Lake Macquarie and motor sailed to Port Stephens on the 31 May. Arrived about 2pm, just before we reached the entrance to Port Stephens we saw our fist whale (I was far to slow with the camera) then just in front of us were 2 more, and we were heading straight for them, for an instant I thought we might land on top of them and would be tipped over. That did not happen and since I have been told by the local Dolphin & Whale watch skipper that they seem to be aware of you, and to turn your radio on so you can be heard.
John had to order some parts for the motor, so we missed the opportunity to leave before the weather turned.
It is pretty good here in Nelson Bay we are tied up to a mooring and can get of and on the boat with little effort.
Shops are are short walk and there are plenty of cafes and eatery's.

ReplyDeleteHello, when are you heading to Bundaberg? We are still ain Port Stephens met up with a few fellow sailors, and the weather is holding us back, so may be we will leave from here towards the end of the week.
DeleteIt would be good to catch up if all works out ------ cheers
I think I miss read your message, not sure when we will arrive at Bundaberg will be sure to let you know when we get closer--------it sound like a good idea--- will have to wait and see won't I.
DeleteHi guys. Sounds like youre having a great time! Its weird being a month behind you as we pretty much have the place to ourselves! The only cruisers we've met are ones staying put for the winter! We are in Jervis Bay now - what a beautiful spot. Any recommendations for anchorages/fishing etc? We are at Hole in the Wall at the moment. Will probably stay in the bay until the weekend - we might even do some scuba diving. Hope we can catch up with you soon!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed Jervis Bay we were there for four nights, in the company of 2 other boats,There is a hot shower where you are, if you go to the beach and walk down the beach you will see the start of a walking trail, there is a camping ground and hot showers.
