Coffs Harbour to Mooloolaba

Three and half days and two nights at sea. No wind so we have been motor sailing or motoring.
A bit of a slog with 2kts of East Aust current slowing us down to 3kts off Stradbroke Is
when we had been averaging 5kts. Surprisingly free of wildlife on this leg - not even birds.
Very tired after the 24hour watches.
Pulled into Mooloolaba Wharf Marina to refuel, shower and sleep properly. Facilities for refueling was not great so the boys had to lug gerry cans to the petrol station and back to the boat. Happy days. Full nights sleep and a beer!
Off to Tin Can Bay, south of Fraser Island where we'll start to take it easier and enjoy the view.
Typed on my iPhone so excuse any typos etc
