We woke and completed the usual ablutions and had breakfast.
At 8.30 we cast off the mooring lines and headed out to the
channel and exited the Burnett River.
It was grey and overcast and not too much wind so it was motor
sailing all day.
Along the way we hooked two big Mac Tuna ‘s but let them both
go. We have sufficient fish in our freezer to get us through to Sydney.
We arrived at the fairway buoy at 3pm and we had a good incoming
tide pushing us along.
The plan was to anchor at Deep Creek but when we got there and
with the high tide it was very deep. Approx 20 meters in parts. We decided to
go to South White Cliffs as that is shallower but does not offer as much
protection as Deep Creek.
The forecast is a strong wind warning for the Fraser Coast.
Where we anchored is some 8nm from the eastern side of Fraser Island but we
will still get the strong gusts of wind.
While at anchor we tuned into the radio and heard an ABC weather
warning alert. Possible thunderstorms with gusts to 48 knots.
We had drinks on Isabella and dinner back on Billabong.
The rain started and did not stop all night along with some very
strong gusts.
