Rosslyn Bay to Pearl bay

Good trip up here, good winds and made good time. Tried to take a short cut between Manifold Island and the mainland, about 0.2 NM gap, but the current running through there was about 3 knots on the nose, so gave up and went around outside.

Now anchored in Pearl Bay, a lovely sheltered bay which is a favourite spot for transiting boats. There are 5 or 6 here at the moment.

No phone or internet coverage though, but I was able to get an arrival message through to Chez via Coast Guard Yeppoon and VMR Port Macquarie.
