A week later we eventually left in the middle of the night, heading for Byron Bay to spend a day. Unfortunately Simon was sick most of the way so Amanda and I enjoyed the lively sail north in relatively large seas and numerous squalls. We anchored in a surprisingly calm Byron Bay to spend the day sampling the local fare.
We again headed off during the night, this time in much calmer conditions. So calm in fact, if you look carefully at this picture of Amanda you notice she's carrying some beer bottles which Simon smuggled up to her en route while I was napping. Simon was still too delicate to partake!
After spending a week at sleepy Yamba/Iluka the entrance on Sunday morning into Surfers was an assault on the senses! There was surf boarders paddling across the bar, power boats at full throttle churning up a huge wake and jet skis flying every which way. Never again will I enter Surfers on a weekend.
So we've finally managed to cross the border!
Amanda's cousin - who was kind enough to lend us his car during our stay ended up taking Amanda to Brisbane for her flight home and we continued to battle the weather up the Gold Coast seaway.

Thyme out.
