Spent a very uncomfortable night at anchor off of Peel Island, one of those nights where I don't get undressed, but remain dressed and ready for anything. In the middle of the night I added about 20 meters of nylon line to the chain so now I had 40 meters out in 6 meters of water. Wind did not let up all night and maximum recorded was 33 knots.
Wind eased off a little throughout Thursday and I was able to get a bit of rest, last night was quite good with winds only up to about 20 knots.
This morning I decided to head on to Bribie Island, a very good trip with 15 knot winds most of the way and the seas much calmer. Mid morning the drizzle and mist lifted and eventually the sun came out.
Had to cross the inbound shipping lane into Brisbane, only one ship and I had to alter course to pass behind. I tried out my AIS app on Iphone and it worked perfectly, I was able to get all info about the ship, especially important was speed and course.
To night I'm anchored at the South end of Bribie Island, very quiet anchorage and I should have a comfortable night.
