Monday 25th October
Still raining this morning but the wind has backed off and there are signs of the weather clearing.
We went ashore after breakfast to do a bit of shopping and managed not to get too wet. By midday the rain had stopped and we started to see some blue sky.
Today is Millie from Rhiannon’s birthday and we are having lunch with them at the local Chinese restaurant (Golden Inn) which is one of their favourite restaurants on the coast. We had a most enjoyable lunch and the food was very good and huge serves. During lunch I had a phonecall from Greg Goldsmith, the CCCA Port Officer for Camden Haven saying he had seen our boat in the river and just called to see if all was well and how long we were staying.
We spent the afternoon on the boat relaxing and preparing for a departure to Port Stephens tomorrow morning. We will leave around 8.30am to get the right conditions across the bar and expect to take 11-12 hours to get there.
We had dinner at the RSL on the river bank just opposite our anchorage and had an early night.
