2016 COFFIN OUT, OFF TO PORT LINCOLN

With plans to spend a couple of nights at Coffin Bay then pass through Port Lincoln, they changed upon arrival.

Coffin Bay is apt, I felt like I was in a coffin.  Despite water all around, it felt cramped, crowded and claustrophobic.  On top of that, no options for us to stay, only National Parks which don't allow Daisy to enter or an ugly looking caravan park on the wrong side of the beach. 

So after driving the Esplanade we did find a nice spot to stop by the long beach (the nice beach) and cook up some dinner and drop a line in before being forced to move on.

So we headed for Port Lincoln and found a good permit parking ($10 per night) spot by the boat ramp at Billy Lights Point on the south end of town just in time for the sunset.  It's a car park for the boat trailers sectioned off for self contained motor homes....thank you Port Lincoln for providing for those of us who do not wish to park like sardines in an overpriced caravan park paying for facilities we don't need).  We will definitely spend our $$$ in your town.  Thanks again.

We have just arrived, and with somewhere to live, we can spend the next few days exploring Port Lincoln (and with phone signal, getting some work and school work done).
