To Little Jerusalem
 A little sadness this morning as
today is the day we leave our slot at Cammeray
Marina, everyone has made us so very welcome and we will miss the place –
just not the hundred and nine steps. Any longer here and we will nip into time
that could be spent further north and the pull to the Whitsundays is
growing.
 We waved to the lovely, kind and
patient Brett.
  Past my favourite
rock and out through Spit Bridge at the ten fifteen opening.
 We thanked the bridge master and said
north was beckoning, he wished us well. We watched the arm
come down.
 Looking up
we could clearly see what was missing. Both tails of the Windex, half the RWYC
burgee. Mmm, we’ve been told up the coast the cockatoos are black and less
naughty, just as well. When we get to Newcastle a few repairs necessary
then.........
 As we went past the lighthouse went
went under a really dark cloud, just six spots of
rain and then we were clear of it.
  Out to the
Heads.
 One final look
back at Sydney. So many memories to take with us. I also leave with no
gall bladder, very grateful to everyone at North Shore Hospital, especially the
lovely Katy. I leave Sydney feeling well, stronger and with a future.
 Through the
Heads and the sun is trying to put his hat on.
 A beautiful, flat, calm sea.
   Smiley boy tests
his new IPad holder. I’m very pleased, when it just rested on the
binnacle I was always worried about knocking it off as I manoeuvred through to
the wheel. I have to admit it is nice to know we have a back-up navigation
system, complete with downloaded charts.
 At Barren Joey
Head we began to turn left.
  A pretty
light that we saw a long way out on our way down. Big
waves on a flat day, wonder what it looks like during a
storm.
 Turning left we entered a vast National Park area.
 Pittwater,
down the first left turn with hundreds of boats.
 We carried on and saw only one other yacht.
 Looking
back.
  Trees
everywhere.
 Down another left we saw Cottage Point.
 We poked our noses into
Jerusalem Bay......
 .........no buoys [all three taken], so
we did a u-turn in the steady eight metre depth.
 We went to Little Jerusalem Bay around the
corner.
  As we approached we
could see a free buoy, the speedboat left as we
headed in so we had just the one neighbour who left
by late afternoon.
 Our
view and total silence.
ALL IN ALL I’M FEELING VERY
BLESSED
LOVELY TO BE BIB-BOBBLING
