A Wet Trip to Coffs Harbour

Thursday 21st May 2015

It was our first try at anchoring at Trial Bay, which breaks up the long trip to Coffs Harbour, almost always against a strong current. Whilst it was a bit bumpy at just after we anchored, the swell settled down and we had a comfortable nights sleep.

Unfortunately it started raining overnight, and this persisted through the day

We pulled up our anchor at 9 am and headed the the 36 nm to Coffs in light rain. It was a pretty uneventful trip, with no wind, the usual visits from dolphins, and we only sighted one other boat on the trip. A fishing boat just South of Coffs Harbour. We arrived at the harbour entrance at 2.30 pm, and were all tied up on our berth by 3 pm.


We plan to be in Coffs for 3 days to allow the rain and a Southerly change to pass through before heading for Yamba on Sunday.

Dinner tonight was at the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club, where we had an enjoyable meal.
