Left Forster this morning and took the scenic route south to get to Bateau Bay to catch up with Graham and Sandy. I stopped off at Seal Rocks and then walked up to Sugarloaf Lighthouse which sits on a headland between two very beautiful beaches. It was cold but the sun was shining and the sea and the sky wore matching blue in contrast to the white sands.

The beaches were popular this morning and many had braved the waves, I on the other hand was wrapped up as I strolled the last 2km to the lighthouse.

It’s a lovely part of the coast and well worth the visit, although I still can’t understand why you come here to just lie on the beach to grow skin cancers.

When I got back to the car is was time to set sail for Bateau Bay.
