Port Stephens - 04.02.2013 to 07.02.2013

Port Stephens has been a destination Crowey has been keen to see, right from the start. With its many bays and beaches I soon began to understand Crowey's eagerness to visit this lovely place.

The weather was a pleasant 28-30 degrees every day, the beaches were pleasant to swim in and the area not overpopulated like Port Macquarie. Port Stephens is actually the official dolphin capital of Australia and during our sunset walk on the beach (awwwwwww how romantic are we??) we actually saw about four dolphins feeding in Shoal Bay. We toured all over this area and really took in every part. We both really liked Port Stephens and took an interest in the local real estate quite quickly. Perhaps a destination for both of us down the track? Who knows.

just too cute


Crowey also got an invitation by a fellow Nolex Yacht owner who lives in Port Stephens to go out on his yacht in a race and he jumped at the chance to go for a sail. Of course he loved it, they had perfect weather and even did well in the race. Crowey believes it was because he made a good ballast.

So Port Stephens did make an impression on me and I know for certain Crowey would move there tomorrow. We will have to see what the future brings us.
