As predicted we stayed put yesterday and it sure rained and one could say it was a very ordinary day. About 0830 John said he would go and get a paper but he did not get back until 1530 and apparently rode buses around the Newcastle area all day. A number of other yachts in the cruise arrived yesterday and we had happy hour aboard Kirralaa before dinner which was pleasant and gave us an opportunity to meet other club members.All looks good for a departure to Port Stephens today with clear skys and favourable winds.
