Back in the water and up the Clarence river

We are currently at Maclean in the Clarence River, we went through the Harwood bridge today, which was a bit of a bonus as we hadn't arranged for it happen, another yacht was waiting to go through, you would normally have to give 24 hours notice.
We managed to stop the Pacific Highway, which the diggers at Woodburn arn't allowed to do!

We motor-sailed all the way mainly to give the motor a run as it has been smoking since we fitted the new oil pipe and we wanted to see if it was a leak or just burning off old oil, it seems to have settled down for the time being.

We will only be here for the day before we go back through as we will be dropping the car off at home on Saturday, then the real holiday starts. We have decided to go North and take our time to ensure that cyclone season is over as we don't want any surprises.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and be favourable to start north on Sunday or we will be here until it is. Next stop back to Iluka where the car is and then onto the Gold Coast.
