This morning was a bit of a slow start, cleaning the boat up a bit ( there was plenty of salt to wash off after yesterdays sail), topping up the water etc and enjoying a big cooked breakfast.
We caught up with Steve and his crew and after studying the weather forecasts, we decided to stay at Port Stephens another day until things settled down. We went into town to get a few provisions and left the marina at around 12 noon, to head around to Fame Cove where we planned to spend the night. On the way we had a short sail, just on the headsail , for about 45 mins.
All of the moorings in Fame Bay were taken when we arrived, so we anchored in about 5 metres of water with very good holding. We watched a less fortunate yacht, who arrived after us drag his anchor for about 100m before deciding to reset, fortunately some distance downwind of us. (It was blowing up to 20 knots from the NE with not a lot of protection).
We had lunch on Wilparina and about 4.30pm returned to Mica to cook ourselves a BBQ dinner.
