Wonderful Newcastle

After a detour to Noumea we proceed direct to Newcastle.

                                                                   Beautiful Sunset

Almost full moon

Welcome to Newcastle

That is where we dock

Well we do not need that many towboats

Finally Sophie , Paul  and Henry onboard the ship - Henry seems a little surprised.

The table still a little empty

After a wonderful lunch

 

Back home after being the hero of the day onboard the Christel Serenity

Goodbye Newcastle and goodbye to the wonderful family Dayton

What did the Captain say ? Old tradition - we will be shut upon when passing

the old Fort Scratchley.They missed all three times, but what a BANG.

You certainly get surprised as you did not recognize that the Captains warning was real.

Not fast enough for the "fire", but I got the smoke.

Waiting for the big wave
