Day 1 of our trip and we have already had a change of plans. Actually it's day minus 1 as we had planned to leave tomorrow (Saturday). One of the interesting things about cruising is how much your life is ruled by the weather. At home our only concern is whether we need an umbrella or an extra jacket but weather rarely changes your plans totally. On the water, Huey (the wind God) makes many of our decisions. And today Huey is saying "Today is the day".
We have had a frantic last couple of days getting ready to leave in what looks like the best weather to cross the dreaded Wide Bay Bar tomorrow afternoon. We have been keeping a close watch on the various websites (including the surf at Coolum) and discussing daily with our friends Len and Isla who are making the trip alongside us in their Seawind Peer Pressure.
So we are off today. We are still waiting for Optus to sort out Warren's phone so we may not be able to give another update for a few days.
