11th Oct Lady Musgrave Island to Port Bundaberg 57nm


The forecast meant another day of motor sailing. That is all we have done but you cannot have it both ways. Idyllic locations such as Lady Musgrave are best enjoyed with this light weather.



We departed at 7.30am and followed our track that we came in on the way out. It was a bright sunny morning so looking into the east as we motored slowly to the entrance made it difficult to see. Maureen and Eric were up the front with polarising sun glasses and they were looking for any coral heads.



We exited without drama and we were on our way.

10 minutes after we exited the green zone we put the lines in and before we had left Lady Musgrave in the distance we hooked another lovely Spanish Mackerel. Eric wound this one in so it was his fish.

It was a bright sunny day until the clouds closed in but not enough wind to fully sail so it was motor sailing all the way.



We caught another Mac Tuna but let it go.



We arrived at Port Bundaberg at 4pm and filled up with diesel before docking into our pen.



Drinks and dinner were on Isabella with the usual crumbed mackerel which was absolutely delightful.



We returned to Billabong and had a night cap and we were in bed again by 9.30pm.
