Notes

Both these moorings have been upgraded to 20 tonnes capacity each. The two Coasters Retreat/Basin moorings make a good combination for a social event, allowing several boats to raft on the 2 moorings.  The mooring nearest the jetty is often “borrowed” by non-club members who then go ashore to the campsite and cannot be found and moved on.  The notification of their registration numbers to Maritime is recommended but does not solve the immediate problem!  The Basin is also not a good place to stay overnight in heavy NE swells, as you will roll badly and get no sleep!  It is the perfect spot in a southerly blow, but not strong easterlies.  There are good bushwalks with beautiful views both sides of the Basin and you could nip over to Palm Beach by ferry for supplies or lunch.  The NPWS charges a $3.00 per person fee for use of their facilities ashore, but there are BBQ’s, fire pits, toilets, cold showers, rubbish bins and a netted swimming area.
