Maybe no other boats because you are breaking lock down rules?

Love sailing dinghys in Westernport. We sail from Balnarring beach in Jan-March. Perhaps people are put off by the water depth variation at the top of the bay? Think that is where I will head once this lockdown eases and we can go sailing again. A week of solitude away from family is very appealing at the moment.

All going well I'll see you there:)

......maybe morskiwilk was referring to times sailing before the lockdown?
I do regular overnight or mini cruises around Port Phillip picking my weather windows and choosing anchorages that suit the wind direction for that night. Most comments on forums are negative about cruising here but ive found it simply delightful. Evenings anchored in Neoian Bay just inside the heads at Point Nepean or under the cliff at Martha point in a gentle northerly or easterly. A week at Melbourne City Marina for White Night Festival or overnight at Brighton or Queenscliff any time. I suppose having a 1.2 meter draught helps with finding an overnight spot to drop the pick.
We plan taking the boat to a mooring at Flinders and doing the same around Westernport soon but this summer will be a trip to Wilsons Prom area for a cruise now that the wooden boat festival in Hobart has been postponed.

Balnarring Beach is such a lovely spot. Used to live there in a little cottage called Tulum Sands. At the time we had a 15 ft clinker dingy on a mooring there. Good whiting and gummy fishing, and i even saw a school of tuna round up some baitfish against the reef and the shore. Small salmon or pilchards I suppose. This was last century around 1990.
Theres a book by Richard Wilkins ( from memory ) called creeks and rivers of westernport that had good info. Maybe creeks and rivers was a subtitle. Was that the book?
A heavy admiralty anchor is out main anchor. It was recommended to me for our trips to the Furneaux group. We has a smaller one for a stern anchor and a good sized danforth.
