Sat 17th June Fraser Is to Burnett River Bundaberg

All the beer drinkers were a bit slow on the uptake this morning but after a conference call we decided it best to head for the Burnett River which runs up to Bundaberg to take advantage of the winds.

We headed off at 8:30 in light winds, hoisted the gennaker or screecher and headed towards Bundy.

Sailing was smooth and uneventful, a good day for resting, eating, photography and knitting.

We had a fish on at one stage but by the time we furled the sail he had gone.

We arrived at the entrance to the Burnett River at 4:30, and anchored alongside the shipping channel on the southern side, not far from the marina.

I cant remember what we had for dinner as I forgot to jot down notes for this day.
