We were very fortunate with our berth allocation at Coffs Harbour Marina, both ending up on the T arm of D leg which is just inside the harbour. Able to tie up stern to stern makes getting onto each others boats very easy, and conversation is a no problem.
Mark didn't take long to settle in
This morning has been filled with trips to the diesel pump to fill Jerry cans to get us back to our full complement of fuel, filling the water tank , laundry etc. By lunch time we were ready for a walk to stretch our legs, so headed over to the shopping centre near the marina to get fresh bread and a few other necessities.
On the way back to the boat, we stopped at the Fish Co-op and bought fresh prawns for lunch, and some green prawns for later. It is pretty hard to beat fresh bread and prawns, washed down with a cold beer for lunch.
So far today the weather is sunny, with a gusty westerly breeze, and generally very pleasant.
A Southerly change is expected later on in the day, peaking at midnight. By mid afternoon signs of the change are apparent.
Dinner is planned for an Indian restaurant, The Tandoori Oven, in the shopping precinct near the marina. About 30 mins before we are due to walk down there, the heavens opened up, with heavy rain. Fortunately it only lasted for about 30 mins.
Dinner was very good, quality Indian food at a reasonable price.
The Southerly change came in as promised and we spent most of the night leaning at 45 degrees to the marina.
