15 May Tuesday - Great Sandy Straits

Well is name is no misnomer.  Sand banks everywhere.  Thank goodness for the chart plotter and depth sounder.

We slide into a sand bank at one stage.  I always remember what one of Ian's teachers on the Coxswain's Course told him.  Never worry about running aground, just worry about getting off :)  Had to wait two hours for the tide to change.  So we fished - got a tiny flounder, but nothing else. 

So nice to relax, then we motored up to Big Woody Island near the mouth ready for our trip to Bundaberg the next day. 

Will add photos if my battery lasts :)
