Glasshouse Mountains - three views

We really saw wonderful views of the Glasshouse Mountains - firstly from sea at sunset, then sailing past the next day.

 A few days later we hired a car and drove up to meet our friend Kevin and his wife Thelma at Landsborough.  They took us up a lookout to see the mountains.



Another yacht sailing down the channels past the glasshouse mountains.  This area and then the inland waterway to Southport would have to be the trickiest sailing as so many shoals - shallow areas which we had to avoid or be working past them on a rising tide. We sure spent a lot of time watching the depth sounder.
Amazing  views - James Cook named these the glasshouse mountains as they reminded him of the brick kilns which the glassmakers used in England.
