Mooloolaba to Tin Can Bay (south Fraser Island)

A bit behind in my blog posts already mainly because I wanted to upload photos at the same time with each post. This has proved challenging because of Internet connection and computer time. So I've decided pics will have to follow on separate posts from time to time so I can stay up to date.

We left Mooloolaba early to head to southern end of Fraser Island. A peaceful and uneventful cruise up towards Wide Bay Bar,passing the picturesque coast around Noosa and Double Island Point. The bar was lively with a reasonable amount of water and understandably called "the Mad Mile." The lead lines for entry were very difficult to see in the afternoon light - almost impossible in fact until you we on top of them. While crossing we could see dozens of 4WDs screaming up and down the beaches. The car ferry from the mainland crosses to and from Fraser Island at Wide Harbour as we entered.

We anchored just south of Wide Bay Harbour on the way to Tin Can Bay. Skipper and crew fished unsuccessfully. The day ended with drinks and roast beef fillet. This is the life!
