Albany to Esperance
Albany on 30th Jan
Internet Access CDMA and VODA YES We anchored at Frenchman's
bay which was very nice until the wind changed to a easterly we then moved and
tried to anchor near the main jetty in Princess Royal Harbour but the
ground was to hard and our anchor would not take so we motored over to Princess
Royal Sailing club and stayed there for a night. Then moved onto Oyster Harbour

the rear main shaft seal replaced Caught up with some family friends Sue
and Murray Milne who loaned us a car and washing machine and a LONG SHOWER for
Tracy,

Esperance 11th March
Internet Access CDMA and VodaYES Well what can you say about Esperance
Great and very friendly people who gave us free mooring on there Jetty, great
local knowledge was passed on and we also joined up with Azure, Tracy caught up
with a old friend Julie who kindly lent us her washing machine. This is a
must stop for all cruisers as the town is close by (in walking distance),
the Esperance Bay Sailing Club welcoming and the opportunity to investigate the
best of the surrounding archipelago to be taken advantage of and definitely not
to be missed. Many thanks to Zero, Matt and Brad
and others for their assistance and friendship. See next sector to experience
what we discovered.
