Everything went according to plan for the haul out , including that small additional job of replacing the halyard , which I’m still mind boggled about, when I think of the way the eye had been made originally. It may well be a spectra halyard as specified but a tuck and whipping, really ?
The high light of the return run was a rather stunning sun set shot taken by my trusty crew, Peter ,just after we anchored having cleared the Coomera River after our 1500 splash back into the water.
We anchored for the evening to catch the tide to our advantage for the rest of the run northwards.
He took the shot and I jokingly said you should send that to the ABC weather to see if they use it. I dug around on line to find the address to send it to and off it went.

Post broadcast - it occurred to me that there had obviously been a mutiny ( of which only the ABC was aware ) as 'ownership' of the vessel had apparently transferred!
We once again anchored overnight in the bay inside Double Island Point awaiting the correct tidal conditions over the Wide Bay Bar and before we crossed the bar we did poke our way into the lagoon to have a look and see what depth there was in there. As there were only 12 vessels there at the time it seemed like an ideal opportunity as we had time to kill. It certainly seems quite pleasant in there although it always looks too crowded for my liking.
