After listening to the weather reports we thought we would leave Pancake on 11 August, however as soon as we got out of the creek we hit a 30 knot headwind and decided that we didn't want to bash into it for 10 hours. So popped back into the creek.
Ian made the right decision as Sunday proved to be the best we could ask considering the prevailing southerly winds. We did have a southerly on our nose all day however it was pretty light mostly and we managed to make it into the Burnett River just on sunset.
So we are staying here until the end of the month when my sister Neroli is joining us for a sail through the Hervey Bay to Great Sandy Straits (Frazer Island) and Tin Can Bay.
Bert Hinkler was born in Bundaberg. We bought the new book about him from an ABC shop in Yeppoon. Ian is thoroughly enjoying the book. Great buy if you are interested in aviation.
So we can be tourists for a while and explore the area.
