Position: 27 0.69 S 153 22.11 E
At anchor, off Tangalooma, Moreton Island
Wind: South sou’ west F3 gentle breeze
Weather: sunny, mild
Day’s run: 10 Nm
Overnight the wind turned into the south which brought a small sea into the
anchorage, nothing to worry about, but nonetheless it made conditions less than
ideal, so, after breakfast, I weighed anchored and sailed north a few miles,
with the wind behind us for a change, up into the narrow channel that leads to,
and beyond, the Tangalooma resort to anchor behind the wrecks on the sand
bar. The wrecks are old dredgers that were placed here many years ago to
provide boats with a little extra shelter, plus they make great artificial reefs
and attract lot of marine life, consequently they also attract a lot of human
life, mostly in the form of snorkelers from the resort.
I even managed to get off the boat for a jog/walk along the beach this
evening.
All is well.
