We dropped the mooring at Vincentia and headed over to “Hole In The Wall” in Booderee National Park. A beautiful sunny day we were very happy to go exploring. We had stayed here in the camp ground when we did our driving holiday back prior to 2007 before digital cameras & facebook, we knew there were showers with hot water! We strolled up the beach to check the camp grounds out, asking an older gentleman how far away they were who was more than happy to help us. We found one camp ground which was all closed up, the other was a short walk away, we decided to head back and plan our showers for the morning.

 

Enjoying the warm sun and watching Beaujolais come across we were slowly making our way back, when in the distance we could see two men who must have been attending a party because they were both in their birthday suits! Oh dear I thought, where do I look? I’m quite shy when it comes to nudity, so I was finding it a little difficult not to get the giggles. As we drew closer they were kind enough to put on their bathers.

We were invited for afternoon tea on Jumping Jack Frog for freshly made scones. Bev did a great job and I got to have cuddles with Caramere their little cavalier. As the sunset it got quite cold, as we didn’t bring our warm tops we decided to row back for warmth. We said our goodbyes to them & Stephen and Jude as we decided to stay in Jervis Bay a little longer to explore.

 

We woke Monday morning to find JJ Frog had left & Beaujolais getting ready. We headed off with our back packs looking for that hot shower. We came to Green Patch camp ground and found the toilet block, oh dear no hot water. I said to Dean there must be another block somewhere as there were a number of campers being Queen’s Birthday long weekend. We found another block which sure enough had hot water. I tested the 1^st shower no hot water, then the next, still no hot water, grrr. I wasn’t leaving without washing my hair so I braved the cold water. I came out to see a very happy Dean who had enjoyed a lovely hot shower. I think the womens had run out of gas! Well at least someone got to enjoy their shower.

We decided to head over to Huskisson for the night. We rowed to shore and had a couple of drinks at the pub. We decided to enjoy dinner on board as it was a lovely night. We were warned of the possibility of an uncomfortable anchorage with lots of rolling, however we found it to be ok. Certainly not as bad as Cleeland Bight.

 

Tuesday morning again welcomed us with a beautiful sunrise, we headed to Vincentia to provision before heading out for a lazy sail across the bay. We had a nice 10-15 kn westerly with just the head sail, we sailed across to Callala Bay another beautiful part of the bay and then headed back to Hole in the Wall ready to leave for Wollongong early Wednesday morning.
