Shaw Island
This island is opposite the old Lindeman Island resort. Pretty spot - lots of spots to anchor. Finn had a snorkel as the water was a bit warmer. We also played some beach volleyball.
Pearl Bay
Sailed into Pearl Bay pretty late and had a bit of a rolly night until morning arrived and we could find a safe spot a little further in. We realised we had no phone reception - zero so hoped no-one would miss us too much or worry. Damo and Finn had some practice spear-fishing expeditions whilst I s...
Great Keppel Island
Moved Manx to the North side of Great Keppel Island today to try and get a better nights sleep - pretty dolly. Went for a walk to Butterfish Bay which was full of butterflies - lovely. Tried to got to the next beach - Wreck Beach - bit got chased by an angry goat. Damo and Finn did some more snorkel...
Great Sandy Strait
After crossing the mad mile, also known as the Wide Bay Bar in very composed conditions (thank god) we made our way up the Great Sandy Straits to a spot called Garry's Anchorage just off Fraser Island. We had a great night sleep in this sheltered spot despite the North Westerly that battered us on t...
Double Island Point
Great day at Double Island Point. Exploring and borrowed a surfboard for some surfing on the point. Walked up to a pretty lookout and returned back to the boat for lunch. Damo took Finn and his friends Jess and Diet for some ridiculous sandboard antics in the afternoon - video available on request...
Noosa to Double Island Point
A very bumpy 30 nautical miles but we made it. Double Island Point is a little bit of paradise - beautiful! We found Matt, Gill, Jess and Diet on Wooshee so Finn enjoyed the afternoon in the surf with his friends. Enjoying a lovely quiet anchorage tonight.
Bribie Island
Arrived in Bribie Island to find a bit of protection from some crazy winds that picked up. The Sandstone Point Hotel was having a big bonfire night which was sold out but included fireworks that we watched from the boat.
Australia Zoo
Spent today at Australia Zoo. Tried to hire a car but it didn't work out so caught a bus which worked out really easily. The zoo was amazing. Finn loved everything and we didn't stop all day. The new tiger cubs just happened to be out in their enclosure as we walked past and were so playful. The sho...
Mooloolaba
Arrived in Mooloolaba early after a lovely calm sail from Bribie Island. We had a lot of boat work to do - lots of mess but then we got on our bikes to explore. Finn found an amazing skate park that Lachie would love.
