Mooloolaba, end of trip

We had a great sail down to Mooloolaba, a fitting end to a fantastic trip  Thanks to the Mooloolaba Marina for giving us a free berth for the duration of our stay. Rightfully it's a popular stop for the overseas yachts. A short walk to town, easy entrance, lovely beach just 5 minutes walk away and it looks like there are plenty of services around town. Only problem is that you cannot clear Customs here. (Continued...)

Having seen pictures in the Cruising Helmsman of boats not having such great luck crossing the Wide Bay Bar (some completely out of the water), we approached with trepidation and fully prepared. Frank and Natalie followed us in Menja not far behind, and once safely over, we could relax a little and were able to take pictures of each other under full sail. Look at Magic Roundabout go!
