To
arrive at the infamous Wide Bay Bar at the southern entrance to the
inside passage of Fraser island on a flood tide we left Mooloolaba at
4.30am wending our way down the river in the darkness. The exit from
there was remarkably straight forward. Our sail up to Double Island
Point a joy of fine sailing in nil swell and the crossing of Wide Bay
Bar perfectly simple in very good conditions, that is minimal swell
and light northerlies as the wind had backed two hours before we
arrived. Our crew members, Prudence and Patience had completed
their mandate once more for an enjoyable passage.
In
the protected waters between the mainland and Fraser island we
motored up to Garry's anchorage just in time to settle in and enjoy a
cold G&T as the sunset over the mangroves. Unfortunately a
family of mosquitoes also thought it was a good place for the sunset
and we were soon driven down below to escape our unwanted visitors.
