We left the marina at 0730 yesterday and motored to Pacific Creek which puts us in striking distance of the Narrows. The Narrows is a route between the mainland and Curtis Island to Gladstone. You have to cross when the tide is its highest as it totally dries out and is used as a cattle crossing at low tide. As usual I was a little apprehensive but this is where Geoff's experience really comes to the fore. We got through with no issues and are now heading for Graham Creek to spend the afternoon and night before heading into Gladstone. The bad news is we lost both crab traps in Pacific Creek last night, swept away by the tide we presume and we just know they would have had a great haul of crabs in them, maybe!
Geoff has some friends at Gladstone so we will catch up with them we hope
