As the weather forecast for the next few days was N/NW winds and strong wind warnings, we decided to relocate to Chain Bay, on the north side of Batemans Bay. This is a lovely bay that has good holding in sand and is reputed to be calm in these winds. It was. We spent a couple of comfortable days there with beautiful views of Maloney Beach and surrounds. The only small problem was landing the dinghy, usual problem of surge up the beach and not getting soaked on landing.
We found a very nice little coffee shop come deli where we indulged ourselves both days. The small suburb of Maloneys Beach is neat, surrounded by forest and on the east side by Murramarang National Park. We noticed that there were mobs of kangaroos relaxing on the beach reserves. Later in the evening they migrated to the gardens and were doing a wonderful job of mowing the lawns. One disadvantage of this was that my ability at advertising myself as a mobile restaurant for small critters meant I ended up with a hungry hitchhiker, a roo tick! Soon sorted it out! An early meal and we were in bed ready for a 4am rise for the trip to Jervis Bay.
