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.
