We have arrived back in Newport and will return to Perth within the next few days. The trip down the coast included highlights like some great sailing which Peter loved (4 hours with speed to 9 knots ), a lovely night anchored in the picturesque Garry's Anchorage and a F1 11 passing right before our eyes as we sat having a cuppa. It would have been 300 mtrs away and 75 ft off the ground!! We crossed the treacherous Wide Bay Bar at day break along with 8 other boats who had, like us, been waiting for the right conditions. The trip to Mooloolaba went well but because of winds from the wrong direction we were then anchored there for 6 days. At least it is a good place to be stuck although it was rather wet and we must admit to being rather impatient to get back to Newport and pack up and head home.
