At Sea
11 October 2009 | Almost Mooloolaba
Phil
We awoke this morning at Garry Anchorage expecting a leisurely day and an easy motor to Inskip point all ready to cross the Wide Bay Bar on Monday morning. The weather forecast changed all that and we are making a belated run for the bar now. We will see what the conditions are when we get there.
We have had a nice couple of days firstly anchored of the Kingfisher resort for 2 nights and then last night in Garry's Anchorage. The resort still looks really great and appeared to be quite busy with ferries and barges going back and forth each day.
The weather today is overcast and I would not be surprised to see some rain today. We have about an 11 hour sail ahead of us to Mooloolaba so it will be a long day.
8 hours later
We have been sailing all day and should be in Mooloolaba in a little under 3 hour at 1930. Crossing the bar was a bit rough and we were punching the tide so it took quite awhile but other than that it has been an uneventful trip so far. The weather has been variable with some showers but mostly sun.
