The day started early and soon after breakfast we were on
our way to Whitehaven Beach. It was a beautiful sunny, warm day with very few
clouds in the sky. We really have been blessed with the weather since getting
back on the yacht. The fleet had very poor weather for the last month so I am a
bit lucky I was able to sit that out in Port Stephens for Tamara’s operation.
Speaking of Tamara she is progressing very well and would appear on the outside
to being completely recovered but must take it easy and not lift anything until
the inside is fully mended.
We arrived at Whitehaven for lunch and a swim. The pure
white sand was glaring in the sun and you could hardly see anything when you
had to take the sunglasses off to go for swim. The sand was blinding.
Here we are at Whitehaven Beach. BTW that is the only coconut tree on the beach.
Sand so white!!
While at the beach we witnessed all the Oyster yachts arriving at Whitehaven. There are about 30 of them on a world circumnavigation. With each yacht worth a minimum of $2million and the biggest one worth over $10million there is some money floating around the world.

After lunch we headed off to Nara Inlet for the night to be close to Airlie as we needed to go in to get some fresh supplies.
We were anchored by 6pm and ready for sundowners although the sun had already
gone behind the hill. A fish curry was cooked and consumed with a bottle of red to wash it down and after a short
read the lights were off. A very serene and peaceful anchorage is Nara Inlet.
