Gladstone to Sydney


The Gladstone to Pittwater run was quick but we had some good stops along the way.


Leaving Gladstone


The painterly side of a cargo ship

Seeing in the dawn on the approach to Fraser


Fraser is littered with wrecks.
Actually the Australian coastline is littered with wrecks.
Sobering.


Post modern breakwater blocks at Coffs 




These remarkable timber catamarans, powered by wind (a generator was used only for the cooking and comms)  from the Cook Islands & Samoa sailed their way into the anchorage at Port Macquarie.They were part of the international parks and wildlife convention about to make their way to Sydney.


We spent a great day with Jeremy's uncle Tony and aunt Mary
at Port Macquarie
We had drinks on board Manutai with Jeremy's cousins 
Tony and Carol at Port Macquarie 
and thank you for the fresh picked Ricardoe's Tomatoes.
Fresh oysters and the best oyster knife, hand made,
from the Saturday harbourside markets




From this...
