On May 17th, we arrived here in a very busy marina, Bert wanted to talk to some of the workers about the boat, and we had been told that this is the place to come if you have any problems, lots of knowledgeable people.     We put the boat next to the two haul outs, which proved to be a very interesting spot, as all kinds of sailboats were hauled out , the one lift is good for 300 ton!!!   Some very big fishing boats are hauled out here, but also some beautiful motor vessels  , one of them being  MV Dearleap.      I used to watch this beautiful boat come into Port Sidney every spring.     She is from 1929, and during the 2nd world war, she was used in  the  service, the whole vessel was painted a dull grey, and machine guns were mounted on her decks.   She now looks a lot better again!!   She is a family owned boat,  have a look at her on Google, it shows how beautiful she is on the inside,  I can only show you the outside…….
