On Monday we slipped away from the harbour and turned left. Jacki, Ruby and Pearl donned their life jackets for the start of their big adventure.
Pearl, of course, was down below in comfort!
Marg and AK have agreed (after some anguish), that the woman wearing the "skipper's hat" is in
charge of Manatee. As we are both, some would say, "bossy", this seems a reasonable solution to skippering the boat!
We took turns being "skipper" on our first leg. After 3 hours we reached Pittwater, motoring between 5-6 knots. The current around Mona Vale appeared to be very strong and we had 10 knots of wind on the bow. We moored the first night off Palm Beach and the dogs (and AK and Marg) enjoyed a walk along the beach.
On Tuesday we started to explore Pittwater and found a dog park near Church Point. On Tuesday night we moored at Newport.
Wednesday AK and Marg woke to flu like conditions so decided to stay put for R&R. Fishing, walking the dogs and sitting in the sun was the agenda.
