After a nail biting but pleasant trip through the Great Sandy Strait between Frazer Island and the mainland, (only nearly going aground once, and on a falling tide)we decided to just keep going and sail overnight to Mooloolaba. The wind tends to come up in the afternoon and evenings with nothing in the mornings so we thought we'd make the most of it. There was a very impressive electrical storm behind us as it got dark with great sheets and strikes of lightening which luckily never got close. Arrived here at 4.30 just as dawn was breaking, and as we had booked our berth in the marina were able to come straight in.
Haven't explored much yet, but there are elegant houses on the other side of the river, and a nice park on the sea side behind us. Should be a good spot for Christmas Day. It doesn't feel very Christmassy, but it is definitely summer holiday time.
So fish (mackerel type) two, no lures lost, mizzen sheet jammed, maybe the bearing, dinghy not arrived yet.
