Sydney to Newcastle (2nd May to 5th May)


Lunch at America Bay (Pittwater)

We headed off from Sydney Heads on a bright sunny morning although there were some showers looming.  The destination for today was the Pittwater.  We spent the first night up a little arm called Smiths Creek which was beautiful and very serene.
After a leisurely breakfast on board we wandered fup to Cottage Point for a Late before  heading off to the basin where we spent a leisurely afternoon (there is a lot of leisure going on during this part of the trip).  We even managed to catch a little fish with a well known bait - CHEESE - but decided to give him a kiss and send him back.

On the morning of the 4th we headed out of the Pittwater on our way to Newcastle which is around 50NM.  The day was a bit bumpy and quite a few showers were around but we had a rollicking ride with Max 'The Auto-Helm achieving a PB of 11.5knts!!!


We tucked up last night into Newcastle Marina and plan to spend the day here as there is a bit of a front passing us by and hopefully will be heading up to Port Stephens tomorrow for a few days

  2. Keep up the good work. My feet are becoming quite itchy; could never compete with LL's feet though.

  3. Dear Michal

  4. Miffed? I have on my head a rare artefact. Whereas the women in our family inherit the merkin, I inherited a piece of white cloth and a white head band that one wraps around ones skull. It's expected to be worn on special occasions. I am pictured here wearing it correctly. Many do not.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Hey! When's the next instalment?
    Keep on cruisin . . .
