Leaving Rainbow Beach Anchorage for Mooloolaba

1200 Hrs

Anchored at Rainbow Beach. Arrived at 1000 Hrs as the Southerly built to 30 Kts. Will be moving on tonight after the wind has gone more to the East and can make landfall in Mooloolaba in daylight tomorrow on a rising tide. As we were dropping anchor a whale and its calf slowly swam past around 10m away. No time to photograph them as it was all a bit hectic in the wind. All well will update again on arrival.

Thursday, 11 September 2025, 1200 Hrs

24 36 S, 153 33 E, We are 15 Nm NE of the Northern tip of Fraser Island. Have had good winds backing all around the clock in the last 24 hrs. Its expected to drop right off in the next couple of hours before coming back in from the South this evening. Unfortunately that will slow our progress for the last 24 hrs into Mooloolaba so the ETA is for late Friday evening now. All well on board.

Wednesday, 10 September 2025, 1300 Hrs

22 58 S, 151 53 E, Closest landmark would be Heron Island directly 30 Nm due South. Had a good run since the wind swung a bit more east yesterday afternoon so managed to make a few miles without the engine assistance. Currently motor-sailing again but expecting the wind to return a bit stronger from the NW moving west so should get anther 24 hrs sailing run in soon.

Note currently updating via Satellite so no phone reception maybe just email. All is well

Tuesday, 9 September 2025, 1200 Hrs

21 41 S, 150 10 E, We are currently 8 Nm West of Middle Percy Island. Light SE winds under 10 Kts but expect they should swing further East remaining light but hopefully give us more speed as we motorsail down the Coast. All going well on board.

Monday, 8 September 2025, 2015 Hrs

Fuel topped up and underway again. Update again around midday daily.

All ready to go now as the wind drops off. Possibly be a bit bumpy tonight but it should calm down pretty quickly. We are not alone with many boats leaving late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Will update once underway

Friday, 5 September 2025, 1400 Hrs

Arrived at Mackay Marina. As expected another bumpy few hours the last few miles to Mackay with the wind and seas starting to build. Forecasts for the next two days are not favourable but from Monday on should see much improved and expect better progress to Mooloolaba

0845 hrs

Mackay here we come.

0230 Hrs

Anchor is down and looking forward to a few hours sleep before setting off to Mackay again in the morning. Despite attempting to get sleep through the journey down the short sharp seas make it difficult to rest

Thursday, 4 September 2025, 11.15 Hrs

leaving Coral Sea Marina. After a hurried departure as the berthing could not be extended we are underway south before the conditions deteriorate this weekend. Unfortunately the SE trade winds and seas will increase over Saturday and Sunday so we are planning to fill up with fuel in Mackay and let the worst of it the blow through before continuing on. Tonight we plan to anchor off Keswick Island before moving on tomorrow. Update again tomorrow
