Leaving
Mooloolaba
 At four o’clock we radioed Mooloolaba
Maritime Rescue and a nice lady took the details of our upcoming journey. She
asked us if we wanted to check in as we passed Noosa Heads but we declined
saying Wide Bay Bar would be fine. She asked us to radio five miles before
Double Island Point which we promised to do. Our nice lady asked if we had the
latest waypoints for the Wide Bay Bar and indeed we had rang earlier in the day
and had received them by text message. She bade us a safe passage and off we
went, leaving our slot in the Marina at four thirty
and headed down the fairway.
  On our way out the
sun was dropping in the sky.
 All looked quiet as we had expected.
Out of the western breakwater, a little turn to left
and wait for deeper water.
 Looking to our right the bar wasn’t causing any mischief.
 A quick turn
back to put the main sail up.
 We thoroughly enjoyed our time here in
Mooloolaba, one more look back to wave and off we
went for the seventy mile journey to Tin Can Marina.
 Engine off at
half past five for a lovely sail
overnight.
 It still makes us laugh and we are
constantly surprised to fine we have internet on coastal hops. Here is Beez on the online AIS tracking
system.
 The moon
made a shy appearance, we could see a fingernail but the whole circle was just
visible. We settled for a very comfortable night with just a few fishing boats
out and about and a couple of yachts on the horizon behind us.
ALL IN ALL AN EASY
EXIT
