Camping at Bantry Bay

Camping trip with both kids and dog a success.  Good weather is key - wet weather would be tough and too much heat would be difficult also.
Sailed up harbour, passed Balmoral and through Spit under main alone in constant NE in under 2 hours.

Laid anchor at Bantry Bay as moorings were packed, but the motor-bougains cleared out before sunset leaving plenty of room.
Got large deck tent up which helped alot with sun in evening and morning.
Slept pretty well and schools of Taylor collected under boat in the morning.
Stopped to fill water tank at Spit on the way back but the pump seems to be broken - so for the moment there is no way to get the water out!.
Dropped into Watson's Bay on way back for fish and chips.  Trip back with seabreeze behind a doddle.

 The beauty of Blues Pt Tower.
 You ol' seadog.
 Reading in the V-berth.
 Dinner under deck cover.
 Boog comatose after massive dose of fish and chips.
 Chops gets a feel for the foredeck.
