Since our last blog entry we have been busy bees – summed up best by “Domesticity and the lesser booby”. Read on dear readers…… Wednesday 17 June About lunch time we decided to leave Pelican Bay to head down to Teebar Creek to spend the night as we would be protected from the Southerly breezes. We found a nice quiet (but shallow) anchorage and had a quiet night. On the bright side Andrew noticed our neighbours, three house boats. The main one had a bit of a party going on - all old blokes and I am sure I saw a few scantily clad women on board. Thank heavens for binoculars – right again Phippo. Two young women toppless serving drinks to old farts. What a laugh, Chris was less impressed. Thursday 18 June, Tried to leave about 0900 after a very leisurely morning relaxing, but guess what it was bloody shallow. You guessed it we ran aground about 150m from our anchorage point – we had a cuppa and waited until the tide went down (about an hour to go) and up again - we pooped off about 1230ish to slip out – at least our keels are clean. We went down to Tin Can Bay township and decided it was too close so we went over the way to Smuggers Point to anchor up for the night. We did a bit of shopping and back to the boat for a quiet night, but the domestic goddess was in full flight. So we had a roast pork dinner and good it was ! Chris also became inspired to make bread from scratch. She mixed it and kneaded it and left it over night. Friday 19th June. We decided to head north from Tin Can Bay this morning the weather was good and headed up to Garrys Anchorage about 14 NM north of the Wide Bay Bar entrance. We had a great sail, about 15 – 20 knots of S/SE. We used the schreecher and pootled along at about 4-6 knots. Breakie was great – fresh, hot bread with butter and jam – yum. So we dropped the pick at Garrys and about midday and after lunch we went ashore to go for a walk on Fraser Island. It was a pleasant walk with lots of birds and some really cool fungi – bright red crimson in fact. I don’t reckon you’d last long if you had them on toast ! On the way back from the beach we met a couple who own a catamaran and have done the trip north many times – we had a drink tonight and unashamedly picked their brains. Tomorrow we plan a beach BBQ with these guys– what a treat!
