We had been waiting in Pancake Creek for a break in the weather so we could sail out to Lady Musgrave Island. The best day seemed to be today but as we headed out at 6am it became clear that with heavy rain we weren't going to get the visibility we wanted to find our way into the anchorage. We had taken a tack out to sea so moved to Plan B which was on to Bundaberg. The breeze started easing around lunchtime so we started a motor to keep us moving. It died completely later in the day and we motored into the river to anchor just off the marina at 6pm.

We moved into the marina on Sunday morning and Warren got a surprise when cleaning the boat to have a snake decide that it looked like a better place to be than in the flooding Burnett River. If you have been following the blog you will know Warren is not a fan of snakes so it stayed on the boat only long enough to get the picture! The extended transom of the 1000XL really does make it easy to get on board..JPG)
Sunday afternoon we rode the bikes to Bargara along an excellent bike trail that follows the coast at first and then runs behind Mon Repos. About 12k to Bargara which has a big IGA and Woolies another 1k out of town. Monday we took the marina courtesy bus into town to shop and look around. Midtown marina is well positioned but looking a bit tired. With access to Bargara and Burnett Heads by bike and the free bus into town, I think we will stick with Bundaberg Port marina.
