Rosslyn Bay to Port Clinton

Jean, being lucky enough to have had dental surgery that day chose to restrict herself to a Cuppa Soup for dinner so I finished up various odds and ends, (including the hydroponically home grown bean sprouts) we had left before restocking.

Port Clinton, Pearl Bay and Island Head Creek are spectacular anchorages within the Shoalwater Military Training Area.
As long as there are no Notices to Mariners warning of live firing, boaties are reasonably free to make their way around.
Port Clinton is a bit like the most beautiful parts of Sydney Harbour without the evidence of humans. And for my money the better thereof. 
Plenty of fish to be had and we find ourselves needing to be a little more inventive in how we serve it up. 
It was in Port Clinton that our outboard issues started. Luckily Cameron had been working out on the rowing machine before we left Brisbane, as rowing against those Port Clinton spring tides is not easy.
