Moreton Island

11 April 2013 | 27 10'S:153 22'E, Queensland
We arrived at Moreton Island amid the rains and winds that have plagued southern Queensland. Not sure what to expect, we had read about the Tangalooma Wrecks, an artificial reef that consists of sunken ships, and decided to check it out as our first stop on our journey north to Darwin. The weather since our arrival has been rainy, windy, squally and otherwise not so pleasant. The wrecks at Tangalooma, however, were worth the visit in the weather as we had not seen anything quite like this man-made reef, except at Million Dollar Reef at Vanuatu's Santo Island. Our visit was cut short, however, due to the forecast of high SE winds to +40 knots, and so we have decided to head 35 NM north to Mooloolaba for the next few days. Hopefully the weather system will quiet down and we can begin our sail north.
