Another day sailing and motoring. Everyone is feeling better now and we appear to have our sea legs. Nicholas has taken to making us lunches which is great. Kids have also taken to lying on our beds watching movies and relaxing at varying stages of the trip.
We saw another pod of dolphins very briefly but they didn't stay with us,... must have realised we don't give them a good feed!
We ducked into Coffs Harbour for a look with the aim of topping up our diesel fuel, but we were unable to make contact with anyone in the marina office and rather than waste any more time, we left the harbor. The seas entering Coffs were quite large and if we had to stay the night, it would not make for a particularly nice or comfortable anchorage. William spotted a turtle as we were leaving the port, unfortunately only Nicholas saw it as well.
We headed on to Yamba and Iluka and arrived after a long day sailing and motoring when the wind dropped, at approx. 11pm. We then carefully found a spot to Anchor on the north side of the river in the Iluka port which is extremely shallow (at low tide we only have 50cm under the keel). We enjoyed a good night's rest after a long few days sailing. Kiddies were fast asleep when we arrived and we had to wake them to get life jackets on as we crossed the bar (entrance into Yamba) for safety.
