We traveled down the internal creeks and waterways to Southport. This was pretty tricky as this had lots of shallow areas so we had to really concentrate.
The first night we anchored in a ditch or creek and then we really got a little crowded as a wind warning was announced. Boats were coming in to get away from a storm which was approaching too.
The storm was pretty close and noisy but, not much rain or wind. However, then we got a strong northerly which wasn't predicted.
The next morning the strong south easterly which was predicted was still going strong, so we decided we may as well move on rather than roll around in the anchorage.
We anchored near Jacob's Well for a cuppa and lunch and for the tide to rise as some very shallow areas were coming up.
What we noticed that even though it felt that we were in the country, no boats backed off or even followed the navigation rules at times. Most boat drivers were pushy - not much fun.
Pretty quiet here in Bum's Bay, Southport at night. During the day, we have lots of boats everywhere, especially as it is school holidays.
