At last we were able to have a sleep in!!! No rushing, no need to get going anywhere,
just a lazy morning breakfast at the cafe and then a casual departure when
it suited us. We departed the marina before lunch and headed through the Great Sandy Straits to the
anchorage we had chosen for the night. Deep Creek is on the western side of
Fraser Island and a well protected anchorage in easterly winds which is what we
have today.

It took 4 hours to travel the 24nm in flat calm conditions
which is a lot better than we expected. We did not get any of the 20 plus knots
from the SE that was forecast. We arrived after lunch and had an afternoon rest
once the anchor was down and we were settled.
At last we had a chance to catch up on all the little things
like emails, phone calls and planning for the rest of the trip. The sunsets here are incredible and this one did not disappoint
