we are finally on our way............yes..........

what an effort it has  been to get away, packing up the house and boat and getting the stars' (Iam the bookkeeper to the stars) BAS's done has been a bit frantic, but with the help of Mikki, who is cleaning my house, we finally make it out of Sydney on Friday and just headed for Shoal Bay where we are staying in a caravan park for a few days to catch up with Clara and Mike and sleep.....
We did go for a paddle on Saturday am - we headed out the heads for Fingal spit at the top of a very high tide, it was a small swell and a light SE blowing with clouds and the promise of showers but we thought we would try until a jetski with 2 lifesavers came along side and warned us of the fast tide flow out of the entrance and suggested we should return, so we did but it was great to get the nose of noodle nealy into the Tasman Sea. We returned to the bay and not long after one could see the waves at the entrance from the outgoing tide and the SE wind. After a great lunch on Mike's sport cruiser we went for a walk around Tomaree Headland.
It is warm and humid here with lots of rain squalls coming through so today Sunday we are catching up on all the emails and the blog. Comfortable and dry inside the big tent with an added tarp over the top of the entrance.
Tomorrow heading for Mungo Brush, hope to paddle on the Myall Lakes
