Departed Double Island Point Lagoon 0520hrsWesterly 5 knots
Had a very comfortable 2.5 hours sleep in a place Alan Lucas describes as the worst anchorage on the whole east coast (thank goodness for a SW wind and no swell penetrating the lagoon). Now for the big challenge of crossing the Wide Bay Bar. Called Coast Guard Tin Can Bay to register our crossing and donned our life jackets. The crossing was very smooth thanks to the westerly of the last few days and little swell (no waves were breaking on the bar). Very light winds so we motored to Garry’s Anchorage (pictured), stayed for lunch and some fishing (nothing of size caught). Upped anchor at 2pm to motor to Yankee Jack anchorage at South White Cliffs. We touched bottom at the S24 red buoy (very disappointing!!!). Note - DO NOT travel between Gary’s Anchorage and Yankee Jack anchorage on less than half tide.
