Well we left Bundaberg at 0600 (yes a sleep in!) on Sunday to cross Hervey Bay and into the Great Sandy Straits. It was another windless morning, so the engines got another work out. Slowly through the morning a bit of breeze came in but only 4 knots and the sea was glassy – so we had a flat ride. About 11-12 the breeze started to fill in and we were able to sail – yeah!!. We had been trolling for time and we hooked a nice big Spanish Mackerel which was great to fight as we brought it in but 2 metres from the back of the boat it threw the lure and escaped – it was a great fight and we have fish to eat so can’t complain. By 1300 we were sailing along nicely and planned to stop at Big Woody Island for the night but as there was a bit of west in the breeze it was not going to work. We then headed for Kingfisher – too rolly so we kept going to South White Cliffs (Yankee Jacks) That was the best sail of the day! 15-20 knots on a reach and we were doing over 8 knots. Anchored up in here for the night and moving on to Pelican Point to be ready for Wide Bay Bar, which now looks like Wednesday not Tuesday.
