Tin Can Bay through the Great Sandy Strait

We decided to forgo another ocean passage and go through the Great Sandy Strait behind Fraser Island? It's a challenging passage for a keeled boat (especially with our 2m draft) because of he shallow nature of the channel and having to pay close attention to the port and starboard markers.

It was a great day, loads of varied scenery with the highlights being towards Hervey Bay. Only a small bottom touch through a shallow but generally we timed it pretty well with the tide. Turtles were also sighted in the channel.

Another spectacular sunset near Moon Point(Fraser island).A few hours sleep before heading off at midnight to make the distance to the next anchorage at Pancake Creek Bay.
