Manatee fangs it to Fame Bay

At the recommendation of Peter and Malcolm we decided to opt for the seclusion of Fame Bay (Port Stephens) to wait for reasonable weather before heading further north. One of the many great things about boating is that you get to experience places inaccessible to most

people. Fame Bay was one such place.....

We had the bay to ourselves for most of the time

Boaties bath...camp site out of the picture

Ruby & Idge share a moment

AK must practice her wildlife shots...spot the dolphins..not

eagles soared overhead

we watched the moon rise

and the sun set (Idge on the main boom)

we explored

and walked (view of Ini from a midden)

and did what we all do best

We were out of (reception) range so we are behind on our calls, emails and blog. We spent 6 nights at Fame Bay and had our first saltwater dunking....brisk and refreshing! We met Mary and her "cabin boy Christian" who were from Sydney and members of the cruising yacht club. Mary gave Marg some great advice regarding seas. On Monday we returned to Nelson Bay to await decent weather to continue our journey north.
