Queenscliff to Hastings
Arriving late afternoon we tied up at the Queencliff Cruising Yacht Club jetty and settled in for the night. Not long after sunset we heard the patter of many feet on the deck. I got up and looked out the hatch to a large shape, thinking it was a large water rat I quickly closed the hatches and side potholes. Getting the torch I shone it out they were in fact two large possums enjoying themselves swinging on the rigging and ropes on the boat.
Getting up late the next morning we took the dingy across to the townsite and wandered around this delightful townsite, having a coffee and reading the newspaper in the local library before heading back to the yacht to prepare for our exit out the heads and around to Hastings. Again we had the pleasure of possums in our rigging over night. Queenscliff was getting ready for the Queenscliff Music Festival which was being held this weekend, shame we will miss it.
We will prepare to head off at 6am tomorrow morning through the heads off to Hastings. It will be slack tide and beautiful weather.
