Saturday 16th October
Last night the forecast Westerly arrived, blowing around 30 knots, gusting to 40 knots. It was a bit of a wild night at the marina although the big motor cruiser next to us provided some shelter. Another boat from Bobbin Head appeared at the marina this morning, a ~50 ft Riviera powerboat, who is also based at Empire Marina. I ended up having quite a long chat with him and it turned out that a couple from the berth 2 up from us at Bobbin Head are coming up to join him on the voyage home.
Another CCCA member, Te Moana (catamaran who we sailed with last year on the trip up the Clarence) is also berthed near Cooinda . The plan to head back to Pittwater early tomorrow morning.
The strong winds continued well into the afternoon, starting to drop out by mid afternoon. It is very cold and we are still wondering when we can get the summer clothes out.
We had lunch with Mike and Joy Wesslink at the Southport Surf Club at main beach, they are driving back to Sydney tomorrow.
We caught up with Rod & Lee for dinner at the Yacht Club.
The weather is starting to improve, and if it looks good tomorrow, we will probably head off to Yamba, early (around 2am) Monday morning.
