Once the office opened at 8:00am we were able to get our berth number, we headed in and had the lovely team at Bundaberg Port Marina welcome us & help us tie up. I need to practice my line throwing as I totally messed up the bow line, but all was good.

We caught up with Jumping Jack Frog, where they were held up as poor Cara Mia had some tummy issues. She was still very happy to see us. We had dinner at the restaurant with them, Della-Rue and some new friends from Por Dos.

Bundaberg Port Marina is one of the best marinas we have enjoyed so far. They have beautiful grassed grounds, courtesy bus into town, hire cars & a BBQ with kitchen & tv. They also have a tour every Thursday to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery for $35pp, which we took advantage of.

 

I was drawn to a wall in the kitchen with colourful anchors mounted. On closer inspection there were names of boats on them, you could purchase an anchor for $5 with the proceeds going to VMR. Time Flies has now got her name on the wall.

 



 

We enjoyed a BBQ  & sunset, a yummy banana cake freshly baked from Della-Rue and had in depth discussions about the possibility of visiting Lady Musgrave.

Conditions were looking good for Lady Musgrave, an early night and we would leave at 4:00am.
