Ed’s Cove to Morries Corner.

Liesurly breakfast ,the weather still showers and misty,had a tour around Bathurst Harbour,over where the North River runs in and towards Swan Bay where the Old river flows,around towards Bathurst Creek where I have heard there are some big Huon Pine trees.The Creek did not look inviting so we gave it a miss.Anchored in Moulters Inlet for morning tea.Midnight Rambler had found a quiet spot just outside the inlet and were going ashore,one of the few Sydney to Hobart racers  to have done the VDL Circumnavigation,having a ball I believe , good on them.
Left the inlet just as a rain squall came over,not much cover for the intrepid walkers.

Went over to Clayton’s and anchored for a few hours,climbed up the small hill behind Clyde’s and took some photos.
Met some Sydney ladies in the house,they were on a tour,they were talking  about the opera house so assumed their origin.
Inspected Clyde’s Huon Pine tree he planted when I was a boy,I have two at home  at Sandfly which I think are about twice as big as his!
My brother told me the friends of Clayton’s were about gathering to do some work on the house when all the visitors depart.For people who have not visited this spot many times the experience must surely stay with them,the Victorian contingent all bought sawdust briquettes in Strahan to get the fire and oven going when they were here,they love it!

Eventually left after an invitation to stay for dinner from Molly but decided there were too many people there and anchored in Clayton’s with the forecast was not to our liking for Clayton’s.
Went over to Morries spot in Joe Page Bay for the night.
