Wind   10 – 15 knots SE  Sunny / Overcast in afternoon

44 nautical miles

As the wind is going to get stronger over the next few days we decided to head north today . Had a quick bike ride to the pier to give Morgan some exercise then completed chores, John went to the co-op and bought Hervey Bay scallops, green prawns and mullet for the crab pots. Our bug zapper part that we are waiting on has not arrived so  Deb at the marina will send it on to Gladstone marina. The marina managers Deb and Bob are very friendly and helpful and they run a good marina.

Left the marina at 10:00 and motor sailed all day as the wind was not quite the right angle. We only averaged 6.5 knots. Very unexciting day, no whales, dolphins, turtles, other boats, nothing to look at. Jenny made Mocha brownies.

Arrived in the Burnett river at 5:00, however it took a while to set the anchor as it kept rolling over onto its back (somewhat like Morgan). We think the chain is getting twisted when it overruns sometime when going out. Anchored of Port Bundaberg marina as Quarantine Bay  our usual anchorage has two barges in it. Goulash for dinner.

Early to bed as big day tomorrow.
