As the weather was going to keep us here for a while, we had plenty of time to explore & also do some boat jobs. First up was laundry particularly the bedding $6 wash & $5 for 20min dry. Dean replaced the engine alarm & fuel filters. I also managed to put our decal on "Time Spies" our tender. I would like to thank Kwik Kopy Braeside, Harm & Kathleen for their help.

 

We tackled the climb up North Brother Mountain with Della Rue and took a bus trip into Port Macquarie where we walked to Bunnings, Jaycar & Bursons. We definitely clocked up the k’s on foot.

With 6 boats waiting out the weather Dazzl’n’Dawn gathered a team for the Trivia night. Our team “Grotty Yachty” didn’t win but we had fun & a good laugh.

The wind blew quite hard for a couple of days, with bullets coming around North Brother Mountain & down the river. Anchored boats had some sleepless nights but all seemed to hold quite well.

I also enjoyed the large gathering of Pelicans who were very good at spotting the fishing boats coming in. I fed them the off cuts of the Tuna we caught, this brought back memories of going fishing with dad at Shallow Inlet.
