20th December 2020: Double Island Point to Mooloolaba

 0500hrs: Departed Double Island Point headed for Mooloolaba.  Confused seas of the headland and no wind.




 1100hrs:  We now have 5-10kts of wind from the east, but still motor sailing

1200hrs: The northerly has now kicked in at 10-15 kts and we are making good way; 6 to 7kts without our motors.  Beautiful sailing rolling across the quartering seas.

1300hrs: We gybe across onto starboard and run in towards Mooloolaba. 

1400hrs:  Coastguard have given us coordinates for waypoints across the sand bar and we program these in.  

1415hrs: The Bar crossed without incident.

1430hrs:  Arrived at Mooloolaba marina.

Lots of expensive boats and houses here and a very busy waterway with many tourist boats taking visitors.
