Start Loc: Scarborough Marina (27o 11.65’ S, 153o 06.41’ E)
Narrative: While we planned to leave around midday on Sun 10th July, we decided we needed to hang around a little bit longer to ensure we stowed everything safely and that we had some essentials – like food! The plan for Sun was to go across to Bulwer on Moreton Island and then north to Noosa on Mon. Given we lost the head start afforded by going to Bulwer, we decided to get an early start this morning to make sure we were at Noosa by 4:00pm, so at 5:45am we finally started our trip and motored out of the marina.
Overall it was a good run. The winds were around 15kts until mid morning, then as it was looking safe to launch the spinnaker jumped up to 25kts. Pulling in the half snuffed MPS provided the excitement for the day – lesson learned. As we approached Noosa Heads, the wind rapidly dropped to ~2kts, so the engine brought us around the heads and we were anchored just before 3:00pm.
End Loc: Laguna Bay, Noosa Heads (26o 22.79’ S, 153o 05.84’ E)
Distance run: 57 nm (1 night hour)
Engine hours: 3 hr, 02 min
