Enroute to Turkey Beach
06 November 2015 | Bustard bay
Left Port Bundaberg @ 0500 in rain and the wind from NW. That is where we want to go. So our thoughts of getting home in one day were blown( sorry about the pun) away. Wind on the nose had us tacking. I had thought our uncomfortable sails were over. Not so. 6 fish caught but only 2 made it into the boat. Made for 1770 for the night with fresh fish for dinner. Saturday and the wind is still from NW @ 20 knts. How lovely for the boats leaving Pancake a Creek going south. Down wind sailing...just my style. The Border Patrol plane was busy, calling us up first, lucky we waited for that piece of paper from quarantine. Then the progression of calling all the southbound yachts. Sighted part of a boat floating by. Pleased it is daylight. Rounded Bustard Heads and the wind is were we want it but of course it is now only 10 knts. Sea is calm and there are patches of sun. Very enjoyable. Hope to be settled in TB before lunch.
