Roydon Island was a real treat. It is hard to say if this little gem will be around for long. Blogs such as this provide too much info at times and some things should be kept a secret. It really was special to enjoy the hut.
Wow!
The day's passage was relatively uneventful. A few Dolphins gave us a surprise and the last 3nm were tough into a 20knt SE, but we pulled up to the south of the pier to find a great little BBQ area and tables. Luxury with the rain. In to town 200m, and a quick pot at the pub, down to 'Freckles Cafe' for a burger, supermarket for last band aids oranges, bananas, and a mixed salad pack, then the butcher for a side of cow and we were set! Tents up and tomorrow would be a day of sticking coastal to avoid the Strong SE.
A nice little luxury
We had planned a two stage day tomorrow, 10nm to near Mt Strezlecki, climb the mountain and then another 10nm to Thunder Cove. But, we bumped into the yatchies from Deal Island who were from Port Stephens and they said there was a huge concert at the southern end of the island tomorrow night. Bugger!
Good progress
