Working up stream

Downwind, light air

Finished for the day
Friday I had Tilligerry Creek to explore. In favourable conditions, f2 x SE and ebb flow of 2 knots, we headed upstream a ways. On the wind watching the sails, the geology of the shoreline and moored craft was both relaxing and enjoyable.
  This creek is reputed to be polluted by PFAS chemicals from the local RAAF base, but there was plenty of oyster farming and fishing going on so perhaps there will be many cancers down the track.
   Oystercatchers, osprey and game if not tame pelicans were seen. And a sailor working on his cruising yacht said lovely things about Tilman under sail.
