Day four – an outstanding start with a challenging end.

Our much anticipated crossing from Moreton Island to Bribie Island across the shipping channels started with glassy conditions, no wind and helpful tides. We could not have had a better run across. We were all smiling from ear to ear and flew across in three an a half hours. We ended the day earlier than planned due to the arrival of our first northerly winds on  trip. The 13-14 knots from the north made the going pretty tough with the sea becoming a confused washing machine. We put ashore and found a site up in the dunes surrounded by flowering Banksias filled with Honeyeaters singing their songs. A good day despite the early finish. DT
