Ray and Bruce headed out at 11.15 this morning through the mouth of the Burnett River in good conditions and the hope of being in Mooloolaba by Wednesday morning. Within a few hours the conditions changed and what was a westerly swung to southwesterly at about 25-30 knots. This put the wind and swell pretty much on the nose making it a very uncomfortable trip and not a good experience for Bruce in his first foray into offshore sailing. So they turned around and headed back into Bundaberg...guess we'll try again another day.
