We had a good sail from Fraser Island down to the Gold Coast, with plenty of current assist. To arrive in daylight, we again found ourselves trying to slow our boat down (boat doesn't seem keen on this). Passing through the Southport Seaway turned out to be pretty straightforward.
We anchored in the Broadwater, right next to the city. This was a really fun place to spend a few days. We were variously entertained and annoyed by numerous jet skis, jet boats, power boats and helicopters that passed in very close proximity to our anchoring spot. We did plenty of city things, like going to the cinema (saw a good Australian film called The Dressmaker), and eating out at an African restaurant.
The picture shows where we dinghied ashore, just a couple of hundred metres from where we were anchored.
