Our last night in Bundaberg before we head off on our adventure into the Coral Sea 😊⛵🏝
We made it through the Great Sandy Strait. Kicking back at the Sunset Bar at Kingfisher Bay Resort. Just saw our first whales from the jetty. They were circling a yacht at anchor.

What a sail. Lifted the anchor at 3:30 am. Arrived here at Double Island Point lagoon at 3:30 pm. Started off motoring as there was no wind but 2 hours after that it was sailing all the way until 2:30 pm when the wind began to die off. Gusts were something that needed monitoring and occasionally handled but all in all it was an exhilarating sail.
1st night at Bribie and they put on fireworks to wish us farewell
