We are sailing 🎶

Yesterday was a big day. We left home at 8am and arrived in Paynesville at 5.30pm. We always drive via Melbourne with the boat because the Alps are a bit hard to manage towing a 2 tonne boat, and the dog and I get carsick with all those hairpin bends.

We got the boat rigged and on the water by 7pm (a record for us!) and motored around to Grassy Point Marina for the night. This morning Terry got new flares and handed over all the out of date ones - hallelujah! It has been impossible to find anyone prepared to take them in Albury and we had quite a collection of old ones.
Grassy Point Marina this morning. A very tranquil setting! 
We set off at 11am and had a lovely sail over to the Grange through the Aurora Channel, plotting way points as we went. Then we headed up Bunga Arm to the First Blowhole, probably our favourite anchorage in the whole Gippsland Lakes area.
From Paynesville ...
To paradise!
