Another easy trip today, only 13.5 miles down to Pelican Bay which is at the southern end of Sandy Strait and just near where the Wide Bay Bar is, which we shall be crossing tomorrow morning early to continue our trip south. Hopefully we shall get to Mooloolaba by tomorrow evening.
I went over to Frazer Island this morning and went for a walk along one of the trails. Chez stayed on the boat as her shoulder is still hurting and she didn’t want to risk further damage getting in and out of the dinghy.
Very pleasant on the island, and sunny for a change; took a picture of Paragon from the trail which I shall include in this post.
We started off towing the dinghy, but realised how much of a drag it was, so heaved to and got it up on to the deck. We were here by lunch time and I have spent the afternoon doing the navigation for tomorrow. It is a distance of 61 miles and will take approximately 12 hours. Also prepared the boat for crossing the bar. Everything has to be tied down or stowed.
