Ok now we are getting close.....
 
It was like a completely different Ocean when we left Port Stephens for our second attempt to Newcastle. Very calm seas and the sun was shinning, a lot more inviting!. It was definitly the right decision to turn back.
 
We had a fairly easy motor although a bit of current against us. We saw loads of whales and it was great to get a good view of Stockton beach (jeuvenille Great white feeding ground) and Sygma wreck ( Australias largest ship wreck)
 
We arrived into Newcastle about 4pm, a great welcome from the NCYC and a whole dock to ourselves. Chloe, Olly and kids came to welcome us to Newcastle. It was fantastic to see them all.  
 
We managed a drink at the Albion (a pub that stocks nearly every beer possible in Australia/ Germany / Belgian! ) some awesome fish and chips and an early night!
 
Sydney is calling........
