Crowdy Head

So last night we stayed at Crowdy Head on the old fuel dock but for ages we've either been on a mooring, anchored or tied up to a floating dock.
When we tied up at the old fuel dock last night we didn't even give the tide a thought.  We were just so knackered after the 14 hours that we tied up, had a beer, dinner and then bed.
We woke up at midnight with a loud crack (just happened to be low tide) and then saw this.

Problem was we'd tied up completely wrong for the conditions / position and when the tide dropped (about 1 metre) the rope had just got way too tight and pulled the bolt through and broke the cleat.

Now that we're here in Port Macquarie we'll get that fixed before we move on and remember to not do that again.
