Bunbury stay

Frank & Bob sailed to Bunbury on their own, I drove down with Bob's wife Laura and spent the three days waiting for them to arrive in their caravan at Koombana RV Park.
The weather was pretty awful and it took them three days to get here, They moored on a Fremantle mooring at Woodman Point to wait out a blow. Thankfully Bob is still a member of the Fremantle sailing club so they were able to do this.
They arrived Tuesday afternoon and anchored outside of the Koombana sailing club. There were quite a few boats already anchored here as the Fremantle, Hillary's and South Perth clubs were doing a run to Geographe Bay.
That night we went and had a catch up with them all at the club and then back to enjoy Lauras dinner which she had prepared earlier in the slow cooker. Then it was in the tender and fight our way back to the boat. A very bumpy wet trip and was a little concerned for my cases as the water was coming over the front, but we made it back without them getting too wet.
A good nights sleep and then we headed over for showers and to meet Bob & Laura to go back for Lauras brothers funeral. That was a huge funeral and a wake after with a large number of people.
Thursday was shopping day, we checked out the spud shed which was pretty good but unfortunately didn't sell meat, so after we got back, Frank and I went in the tender to Coles to pick up meat and a few other bits and pieces that we would be needing.
My neice contacted me and as they were out fishing came back to the boat and we enjoyed a catch up with her and her husband.
Then what a night, the wind hit and we spent a very uncomfortable night on the boat with over 30knot winds howling and the boat pitching and rolling. Woke at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep, so lay hoping that the anchor was well and truly bedded down. I moved into the saloon and spent the rest of the night there which was better as I couldn't hear all the banging and rattling like I did in our aft cabin. Finally dropped off and woke again at 8.30 with the wind still howling and the boat still pitching. It looks like it won't be abating for some time so will have to grit our teeth and ride it out. We have given up on the idea of showers at the club as it would be too difficult to get into the tender and battle the wind.
Thank heavens for a very substantial anchor which held and kept us in the same spot all night. Luckily I had a new prescription of stemetil on board so that helped with the nausea.
