Hi All,

Im considering a bit more of a perm base for my yacht and I....am currently in Sydney and whilst the harbour is fun its also very busy...Pittwater is the next stop but also very busy and it takes up to 1.5 hours to get to some areas (ie Newport) from where I am (which is inner sydney)! So I was thinking Lake Macquarie...Ive a 35 footer and I do enjoy the occasional coastal run but for most part happy to get out on the water and enjoy a sail...as such was wondering if anyone can share their experiences of being there and sailing there....from what I see the marinas are a helluva lot cheaper than Sydney for starters....
