We have had a lot of rain on the far north coast but not nearly as much as the mid north coast. Because the Clarence River is the biggest river on the Australian East Coast, she copes well with lots of rain. It’s wet underfoot. We are keeping an eye on all the boats in the marina and at times likes these were are thankful we are located in a safe boat harbour. Stay safe everyone.
Since Lucy recently appeared in a TV ad she hasn’t quite been the same!!! LOL
Days like this are the reason the coast is such a tourist hotspot. Also rumours that the local pub is for sale for $50 million help!!!!!!
People always ask; What is the height of the new bridge over the Clarence River? The safe height for yachts to pass underneath is approx 30 metres (you need to arrange to have the old bridge opened to complete the journey). Opening times can be arranged with at least 24 hours notice. So the river is open for business for yachts…all the way to Grafton.
This is the American boat Patriot damaged last week in the lead up to the America’s Cup. The other countries involved, Italy, the UK and hosts New Zealand, all chipped in to get their rival back on the water. What better way to say thanks than with a “band aid” over the wound made up of the flags of the three nations that helped with this great effort. Well done humans!
