A few Relaixing Days in Yamba

After a sound night's sleep we booked ourselves into the marina at Yamba and motored across on the high tide, snugly tied up in our berth by 10.30am. Once marina book in procedures were completed and diesel supplies replenished, we went for a walk into town, met up with Carole's brother David and wife Justine at their Real Estate Agency (First National) and had lunch together at a local coffee shop.

Late afternoon, David, Justine and their twins (Christian & Cassea) came to visit us at the marina to check out the boat. It was a good chance to have a relaxed chat and a glass of wine, and as you can see from the photograph below the kids settled in to boating life quickly.

Next morning (29th) it was time for a game of golf. The golf clubs were recovered from the spare cabin and we set out to walk to the golf course, ~ 1.3 km. We teed off at around 10.30 am for the inaugural “Mica Cup” an aggregate stableford event that will continue for the entire cruise. The first round was fiercely contested, but ended in a draw with each of us having 36 stableford points. The next round is likely to be on the Gold Coast. We thoroughly enjoyed the game at Yamba which is now a very scenic and well maintained golf course.

We lugged our clubs back to the boat and had a relaxing afternoon in perfect weather, if not a little cool for up here at this time of the year. The view below from the cockpit of our boat says it all.
