Back in the Basin
09 February 2012 | Coasters Retreat
Phil/Overcast some showers
I have been a bit slack with the blog for a few days. WE left Port Hacking with the South Wind and had a lumpy trip so pulled into Sydney Harbour for the night then onto Broken Bay the next day. We had a delightful sail up the coast. We spent the night in a calm little bay then headed to Dangar Island for a walk around the Island which we enjoyed.
When we tried to get the anchor up we found it was well and truly stuck under some underwater junk so what to do? Our luck was in and a mooring barge was working nearby and they offered to retrieve the anchor. We put a bouy on the chain and set it free and a couple of hours later the barge came around the corner with our chain and anchor. That's the second time we have been lucky in this situation. We are now anchored in the Basin at Broken Bay and will catch the ferry across to Palm Beach shortly.
Our weather has been mixed but we have been enjoying ourselves. Back home Monday
