Settling in for the long haul


Cruising provides a lot of lessons. Our most recent lesson? Given the right wind and sea conditions, make the most of them. Wanting to spend more time in the Great Sandy Straits we chose not to take the northerlies of early last week to cross the Wide Bay Bar and travel south to Mooloolaba. In hindsight this was a mistake. The south easterly winds have set in, so for now so we are staying put in Tin Can Bay. There are worse places. The dolphins look forward to seeing me each morning. The local shops are just far enough away that a walk for provisions can be rewarded with a chocolate Paddle-Pop. Peter has Internet access. The pelicans provide lots of photographic opportunities. There is time to write. With so much time on my hands I have set up a new blog site The Sea and Me which is a bit of a yarn about cruising in Queensland...
