A Walk Ashore Along Glebe Point Road

Rozelle Bay to Store Beach

Good Morning NSW Maritime and the super yachts.

It is a busy bay with Dragon Boat racers, rowers and kayakers using the waterway with lights on before dawn. Anchoring within the confines of the mooring marks the night before the southerly wind had moved us just outside hence the visit from Maritime was not unexpected as we were asked to re-anchor within the marks. Maritime Headquarters being just across the bay we thought it only judicious (and polite) to comply seeing as I was allowed to finish my cup of tea and toast.

Our Super Yacht friends and a lone paddler.

Seeing as we missed out on the chance of a super yacht berth the night before and were not invited over for coffee or tea this morning it was decided to do our own thing.

Rafting up beneath the Anzac Bridge

After anchoring closer in a trip ashore was planned for coffee and a stroll the length of Glebe Point Road passing places of my misspent youth its good to see that Glebe retains its unique flavour as a bit bohemian. Bargains are to be had in the op-shops ie a couple of Saaremaa sized wine glasses at $1 each.
I sware this road has got longer it feels like 5 kms but I know its not ( must be my age catching up).
Pete Weitzel an old friend came down to visit and stroll with us.

Kokomo the gentleman.

On leaving Kokomo followed us out in a gentlemanly way unlike the basket case the day before who flew past us making maximum wash to beat us to the swing bridge, one has to wonder!!

More royalty as we pass the Pacific Princess tied up at the 'Hungry Mile'.

Pete's Dragon just squeezes under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Pinchgut and a real sailing ship.

I think we will keep out of the way of Freshwater.

Pete's Dragon anchored at Store Beach

Warialda set for the night at Store Beach.

 It was a blustery sail up Sydney Harbour to Storm Beach at Spring Cove where Warialda and the 'Tres Amigos' are already anchored for the night.
