Thanks cape man and jonnymac.
Big push on Great Sandy today preparing for an outward crossing of the Noosa bar tomorrow.
The high tide will be barely enough, but sea state conditions are predicted to be favourable.
Stand by .....

Thanks cape man, Jeff, Jaysen and Tom.
We had a wonderful outward Noosa bar crossing just before our noon today, then had a wonderful light winds sail some 25 nautical miles south to Mooloolaba Harbour, arriving on dusk. As a 75 year old CLOOF, I'm stuffed beyond redemption, but hugely satisfied. Child bride and I are now heading for a fav local bar and grill to celebrate our good fortune, Will post pics tomorrow.
