L'Eau Commotion Westabout

On a perfectly still Saturday morning I was farewelled from Scarborough Marina by some of my friends and set off for my starting point at the Gold Coast Seaway. Although I did hoist the main and yankee the winds were so light it was actually just a motor across Moreton Bay and past Peel island and Macleay Island where I decided to stop around sundown. In the passage between Macleay and Karaganda Island I was most intrigued to see a Triton 24 a photo of which I took in the morning and I hope I can upload.
In a sister ship to this Barbara and I set out from Brisbane in 1974 for what was to be a 3 week holiday to Lord Howe Island but as it turned out this became a four year sojourn crossing the Pacific East then West and circumnavigating South America via Cape Horn and the Panama Canal. We visited many of the fabled South Pacific Islands such as Pitcairn and Easter and Tahiti but a favourite was Fiji where we welcomed aboard our newest crew member - our first born daughter Katherine Ann.
The memories flooded back.
Again no wind in the morning so chugged along past Jacobs Well and Sovereign Islands. The wind did get up then but due to increasing traffic I decided not to hoist sail and I was so glad of that. It became positively hectic and though everyone behaved properly and obeyed the rules the combination of massive power boats yachts some under sail speedboats jet skis tinnies and Hoby foot powered kayaks nonchalantly fishing in the middle of all this certainly needed my full attention.
So here I am once again at Southport Yacht Club with the fuel and water tanks topped up and a years supply of food aboard ready for Customs ( Border Control ) clearance at 9 tomorrow morning for a start time of 10am. There could be a problem as some massive swells were coming in on occasion - thought I saw white water right across the entrance but again I didn't dwell on that because of the aforementioned traffic but in any case it should ease by tomorrow. And if not what's another day?
