We got up slow this morning. Enjoyed the amazing view. Looked out at the mighty sand cliffs and noticed the matchbox 4WD scurrying along like little ants. Hard to believe we couldn't reach out and touch them.
The Voluntary Marine Rescue advised us to wait until high tide before we crossed the bar into the Great Sandy Straits (Fraser Island). The Chart Plotter is so good, as it shows you exactly what waypoints to be on and you can just follow these on a safe path.
I wonder if this bar is the longest in Australia? Anyone want to check this out? Certainly took quite a while.
We motored up the straits for a couple of hours and then anchored and were sound asleep by 7.30 pm. Well, Ian was. I stayed up and knitted for quite a while.
Note to my KNITTING CLUB friends: knitted has been fantastic. Settles my mind onto something LOL. When on watch I knit a row and then get up and check the horizon for lights and ships etc. Oh yes, one of those PRINCESS cruise ships was floating around with us from about 10 pm to 2 am this morning, totally lit up like a Christmas tree.
