Still waiting
As we wait for the weather, we are enjoying this place. It becomes a bit rocky when the wind drops or the tide is high but otherwise okay.
No other boats at all and only the occasional National Parks visitor.
Our two flathead, one bream, one yellowtail and one sting ray have all been too small and returned to the water.
We are about 19NM from the Victorian border. This is the most Southerly anchorage in NSW. There was a stiff wind change in the early hours of the morning (there is a gale warning from here to points South) and sadly we could again smell smoke from Victoria.
There are good walks here though many trees have come down across paths so we will be careful in the strong winds.
We have a pleasant white sandy beach and explored about 1Km up BVittangabee Creek.
Our weather window slipped a day to Thursday morning because the cold front was bigger and longer than expected. It is proving very challenging getting a 48hr weather window at the moment. We do not fancy the 6metre seas in some parts of Bass Strait at the moment!
Regards,
Dave & Penny
