Motored out of Abell Point Marina after 3 nights there, I must admit the thought of $100 a night was annoying but having had a good look around im kinda figuring its worth the money. Beautiful facilities and absolutely stunning atmosphere with craft ranging from small, to absobloodyluteley stunning there to admire. Ferrys to the islands, Condor the Sydney-Hobart maxi as well as other ex racing yachts. A couple of 100 foot luxury motor yachts as well.
Due to a couple of mistakes we ended up going the wrong way in the marina and ended up tying up somewhere to get better directions, as it was thats where we stayed. Lessons to be learnt everywhere!!! Anyway the place is impressive so we just tried to enjoy the days as we could.
Bit of a rough panorama ........
Home anchored on the end where we ended up by mistake.
So 3 days of shopping and wandering about a bit followed, plus trying to work out what was wrong with our panasonic toughbook puter we use as a nav/chart plotter. Turns out nothing at all but it took 3 trips to a puter shop and a quick $100.......farkit.
Nice place but full of backpackers and charter boaters. Wandered around the saturday beach market this morning and bought some flags to hoist up, and some clothing from the "Grotty Yachty Clothing Company"
Had a great chat to the owners while dodging the rain.

So thankfully without incident we left this morning, anchored back in Woddwark Bay before heading to Hook Island tomorrow to chug into Nara Inlet.
Snapped this pair on the way out but just a tad outside our price range..............mmm to dream eh......nah.
