- Today the wind picked up and it was time to find better shelter. Lagoon Anchorage was the perfect spot for us. Another beautiful beachside.
- Hervey Bay is a huge area and we are getting closer to the famous Great Sandy Strait passage. First anchorage is at South White Cliffs providing excellent shelter.
- Today we needed to take off at lunch time as this is the perfect timing for the tide. This part of the trip is tricky as one must trust the port and starboard marker at all times and not the plotter or the latest navionic download. If you do not, you will run aground. The most challenging part we found was just of Stewart Island, as it gets very shallow at certain spots. Today however, we have a very high tide so no problem at all and skipper Gunther guided us through with perfection. We are nicely anchored at Elbow Point. This morning we had a strong southerly coming through so we re-anchored a little bit further out just in case as it does get very shallow. I took advantage of the early rain in the morning washing down the boat and getting rid of the salt crust on CoolChange. I think we could open up a salt mine on Cool Change. As today is a relaxing day, I baked a fresh loaf of bread. It was so yummy that we just could not help our self, so half of it is already gone. I will be on a diet tomorrow.
- Apparently the above can all refer to the same place (identity crises) and we shall explore this area.
