Retracing the Sausage Roll Trail

The Bloke's quest for the best sausage rolls rarely takes a back seat and could even be a driver for our retracing of steps southward. Many have been purchased, examined, tasted and some immediately binned. Queensland has not been a bountiful ground for these tasty morsels, hence the need to take the tropical shirts on a tour and hunt them down.

Peter from SV Novae did all he could to placate The Bloke by creating this batch of noteworthy Amateur Division sausage rolls and serving them up at Great Keppel Island but this just fueled the desire.

To Pittwater we must go! Would the highly ranked rolls from the Cottage Point Kiosk and Boat Hire be just as good as they were in his memory? Trent was up for the test. He'd been warned by Bruce the Vice Commodore of the Kuring-Gai Motor Yacht Club whom we'd just met at Soldiers Point Marina, that The Bloke was on his way.

Pittwater is in any case a jewel and The Bloke was fixated with a return to our favourite bay, Castle Lagoon. Apart from being beautiful and sheltered too, it's only a short dinghy ride away from Cottage Point, coffee, Sausage Rolls and a somewhat acclaimed Fish Curry.

A masterclass from dual world circumnavigators.

 

The Bloke got several others involved in his enthusiasm too. Jim and Jeannie from Onora, recently returned to their vessel from a summer in their home of Chicago hastened their arrival from Newcastle to participate. Bob and Pam from MV Karajas who we'd met in these waters 3 years earlier were keen to join in too.

 

Jim and Jeannie would never have guessed their 49th Wedding Anniversary meal would have included a Sausage Roll!
