A Lazy and Very Windy
Saturday
 After breakfast we ventured to the
cockpit and got no further, it was nice to see the sky littered with kite surfers and one or two jet skiers braving the bumps.
We had planned to go for a spuddle to Crab Island but after watching a hire boat
go by with sodden passengers............... Time for a day of games and
chat.
The weather forecast is terrible.
Moreton Bay, our entry to Brisbane is due for choppy seas and big winds up to
forty knots with a warning of up to forty per cent more. Out at sea, the swell
is forecast at four metres in one direction and three metres in another. On the
AIS real-time shipping map there are not too many chums out and about. Despite
us being in the shelter of South Stradbroke Island we have a bit of a wiggle
when a big roller comes through. We had a planning meeting from here to Cairns,
as always written in sand and here more than anywhere, very weather
dependent.
 What fun, mid afternoon we waved down
the ice cream man.
  Sundown.
 After last nights poor performance at
sunset, tonight's was spectacular.
  We enjoyed the
softening colours, supper and a couple of Dr Blake’s.
ALL IN ALL A REAL DAY
