Finally we have left Boatworks, its good to be out on the water again. We are stocked up and ready to go, gas bottles, pantry, fridges and water tanks are full and most imprtantaly for John, the beer fridge is heavily stocked. Not sure how much red wine he has on board , he reckons he has enough.

We motored round to Gold Coast City marina and pulled up to the fuel wharf and topped up the tanks then about 2 :00 headed back down the Coomera River heading north.

Conditions were benign with very little wind so we motored at about 6 knts towards Jumpinpin bar on the northern end of South Stradbroke Island. The wind was was still a bit cool as evidenced by Johns flanette shirt.

The anchor was dropped at about 4:30 and we enjoyed our first sunset at anchorage.
