15th 16th 17th 18th Oct South White Cliffs


When I woke in the morning I was listening to the ABC and heard we had 120ml of rain. Some nearby areas had over 200ml.

Dinghy full of water after night rain

Rained all day


It continued to rain all day which kept us inside. All we could do is read books and do the internet things like read emails and look at the weather which we did every 4 hours hoping for a change.

This lasted for 5 days.

Finally, on day 5 the rain eased but the wind gusts were still there.

Tomorrows forecast is better so we will most likely move down to Inskip Point and wait for a possible Wide Bay Bar crossing on Friday. (today being Wed)



The anchorage is probably the best when sheltering from strong wind warnings for 4 days. It is good holding in sand and mud. Water flat so no swells and no rolling. Just swing back and forth at the mercy of the tide and the wind.

This is what anchor watch looks like after 5 days.
