Tin Can Bay Marina

We have spent the last 2 days in Tin Can Bay Marina doing the clothes washing and washing down Faraway. For a yacht she was starting to smell quite fishy with all the crab bait and fish bait that had been passed over the aft deck. The Marina is in a lovely location next to beautiful parks and nature reserves teeming with wildlife. My favourites are the rainbow lorikeets shown in this photo. When the tide is out in the bay the scenery changes dramatically and it is possible to walk and fish along the mud banks. At the moment the military is letting off unexploded bombs and flares on the nearby range so the sunsets have been pretty spectacular with the smoke in the sky. November is one of the hottest times of the year in this part of Australia and Ian and I are finding the days pretty exhausting if we are outdoors. Luckily there is normally a cooling breeze in the afternoon that we can look forward to.
