Port Rexton

We need to continue working our way up the Bay as we want to start heading back south for the last 2 weeks of June as the whales should be arriving.

We decide to try Port Rexton, the Bay north of Trinity it’s not in the guide but looks possible.
It’s overcast and not much wind so a motor sail. A couple more whale sightings en route .

There’s a little headland to round and a small harbour but it rapidly becomes apparent whilst uncharted, it’s shallow - for small private fishing boats. There’s one dodgy mooring we avoid and anchor just outside both.
From the map walks looked promising on both headlands - the reality heavy cloud/fog descended for the afternoon, its wet and very cold which was far from attractive!

Simultaneous we discover that the cabin heater which runs off the engine isn’t producing warm air - a pipe is leaking so the search is on!

We venture ashore in the evening and find the local brewery that’s making a good effort to accommodate tourists from Trinity and is doing a good trade in carry outs for locals. A few random beers sampled!

We spend the night being rocked as swell gets around the headland.Baca lagi
