On our way!

We left Mooloolaba on Sunday and had an excellent screecher run up to Inskip Point with a S-SE 10-15 wind behind us all the way.  We'd timed the Wide Bar Crossing so the wind and tide were with us, and though I was a tad anxious, it was a comfortable crossing though the mad mile was a bit sloppy.  We overnighted at Pelican Bay and had a liesurely drift with the tide up to Garry Anchorage yesterday afternoon. We'll more than likely stay here for a day or so - need to gently break ourselves back into the sailing life again as we've been land based for the last 6 months!  

There was a severe thunderstorm warning out yesterday afternoon.  The storm passed south of us, thank goodness, but it did make for an excellent sunset!

Preparing for departure

We're almost ready to go.  Will Sleep on board tonight and take off early in the morning.  Have our mates, John and Marg Young, (ex Second Innings) coming with us on the first leg.  Hoping for fair winds and calm seas!
