I am back on the boat and it looks good, Dorothy has been hard had work polishing up the Stainless steel and doing some re staining of some of the inside woodwork. We moved the boat from the anchorage to the marina the day before I flew home as our 10 day limit was about up for the anchorage and also it would make it much better for Dorothy being in the marina.
Yesterday when I arrived here it was cloudy, cool and on/off drizzling rain. Apparently there has been a lot of rain here lately and a number of rivers flooding again on the flood ravaged Queenslanders.
Had a busy day today getting some shopping done and the boat ready as we are planning to head out to sea about 6pm tonight and do the 55 miles as an overnight sail. We want to arrive at the optimum time to cross the wide bay bar which is about an hour before high tide. Hopefully we will have an easier time of it than the wild ride it was when we crossed it going South back in November. This time we will have the wind, tide and swell direction with us. The day started out with more rain but by 10am the sun was out and turned into a nice warm day. If the weather is good will take our time going up to Bundaberg and explore sandy straits a bit.
