HAWKS NEST - 9 TO 10 FEBRUARY 2023

 

9 FEBRUARY

We did the final packing for the van, and we were off north … petrol …oh, the bike rack does not seem to be standing upright … back home … a bit of adjustment and all was good. We were off north … again.

We stopped at Bennetts beach. On shore winds and crumbly small waves. Around to Jimmys Beach, where the winds were also unpleasantly strong. Decision! Camp at Hawks Nest. A good decision, as it started to rain after we finished setting up.

Later in the afternoon, when the rain stopped, we walked over to the Bench Mark Hotel for a few drinks and dinner.

10 FEBRUARY

A beautiful morning with clear skies and a light wind.

I wandered down to Bennetts Beach, watched the sunrise and strolled along the beach and back to camp.

About mid-morning, we drove to Jimmys Beach, which was magical with no wind. I had an ocean swim and we lazed under the beach umbrella.
