Moreton Bay

We are finally in Moreton Bay and heading for Southport. We got away from Mooloolaba yesterday morning after having paid up until Thursday; I asked if we could get a credit for the 3 days, but it doesn’t look like we are going to, or I would have been contacted by now.
Yesterday’s trip was very good, we even got some northerly winds to help us along, and the swell was about 2 meters, but virtually no sea. Chez was pretty anxious at the start, thinking it would be the same as last Friday, but she soon settled down when she realised conditions were pretty reasonable. Last night we anchored at the south end of Bribie Island, there was about a 2 knot current running and we were dragging our anchor very slowly, so we pulled it up and found a vacant mooring which we borrowed for the night.

Today has also been a good day even though it was a 5:00 start. Nor’easter came in again after lunch, so even though we had the current against us when the tide turned, we made good time. Today we didn’t bother dropping anchor, but picked up another mooring at the south side of Coochiemudlo Island. Hopefully another quiet night like last night, and sunshine, again, for tomorrow.
