On this day in 1988 Kay Cottee sailed into Sydney Harbour to become the first woman in world history to sail alone, non-stop and unassisted around the world. Kay spent 189 days at sea and her voyage covered more than 22,000 nautical miles. She was named 1988 Australian of the Year and became an Officer of the Order of Australia amongst a host of world-wide awards and honors. Kay Cottee AO, a great Australian.
What more is there to be said…the first day of winter and Yamba Marina is at the middle of a beautiful rainbow.
Lets hope it is a very good sign for all. Stay safe and happy Australia.
The weather is stunning. We’ve had some big seas this week but now the waves are settling down and the charter fishing boats are ready to go. Reel Time Fishing Charters and Whale Watching is back in business. Give them a call. Just look at the colour of the water…and they sky!!!.
With overall restrictions easing, activity has been picking up…the yard is active all week and more and more boats are moving around. May the world return to some-form of normal soon!!!!
The yard is busy in this beautiful autumn sunshine. If you need your boat slipped give us a call. We can fit you in during May/June.
Police boat WP 21 from Tweed Heads in for a big service. Glad the skies are blue……
Under blue skies in beautiful autumn weather the marina is a great place to forget about worldly problems. You can work on your own boat at your own pace and social distancing is not a problem. We are of course at all times being very careful to abide by the rules set by Government. When the restrictions are released we think things will move pretty quickly….boats will move around to get back home or to make Yamba home in the future.
It’s a good time right now to book time on the hardstand. Call Graham and he will give you his best deal during May and June.
Yamba Marina is open for business. We have again been advised by the NSW State Government that we are allowed to operate as normal (providing we undertake appropriate safeguards). Of course we do that. The ability to keep boats safe and operational is a benefit to all.
Our handstand is open. Our travel-lift is operational. Marina marine service tenants are largely operating as normal. Please keep in touch as we want to help you with your requirements.
