<p>In "Bums Bay" next to the Gold Coast Seaway from where we will leave late tomorrow for the 100 NM sail to Yamba.</p>
Early morning start (0500) to catch the height of tide over very shallow shoals. Anchored at Slipping Sand.
Another night at Canaipa Point although we have moved approximately 200 metres into a better spot after a yacht left this morning.
From Tangalooma to north side of Peel Island, Moreton Bay - 21.8 NM. SE wind 15 to 20 knots.
39 nm sail from Mooloolaba toTangalona on west side of Moreton Island in Moreton Bay. Cruise ship anchored out from us.
No big mileage today. Shifted from the indifferent anchorage in the river at Mooloolaba to just downriver to the marina. Very cozy!! Will be in marina till at least Saturday.
Left Pelican Bay 0530 today to pass safely through Wide Bar and 62 nautical miles on to Mooloolaba. Anchored in river at 0530. Very pleasant days sail.
<p>Weaved our way 18nm around shoals from Garry's anchorage to Tin Can Bay on the mainland but still in the Great Sandy Strait.</p>
<p>Yep!! In Garry's Anchorage again tonight. Caught up on a few tasks and went kayaking around Stewart Island this afternoon. Delightful; returning on sunset.</p>
In Garry's anchorage again this evening. Gusting 30 knots northerly at the moment. Took a walk through the enchanted forest on Fraser Island this morning. Heard Dingoes in the distance.
Interesting and enjoyable navigation through the shallow shoals in Great Sandy Strait to end up at Garry's anchorage in the narrows between Fraser and Stewart Island.
Anchored at southern end of Booker Island in the Great Sandy Strait. Sheltering from a "sporty" northerly wind. South white cliffs on Fraser island to our east.
