2nd February 2021: Finally left Dunwich: Headed South

 I spent 2 weeks in Dunwich waiting for Suzy to return from family business then another 2 weeks waiting for parts to arrive yesterday.

Suzy said: "when do you think we will head off south?"  Answer: "tomorrow, we have a one day weather window until the next southerly comes in."
So today we set off to navigate the southern end of North Stradbroke Island.

0900hrs: motored out of our Dunwich anchorage. 

1000hrs:  Slipped under some high voltage wires across the channel. m It didn't look like a lot of clearance.

1215hrs:  Arrived at Jumpinpin Bar anchorage.  Beautiful spot.

Unfortunately, it rained non stop today so the pics are not as breathtaking as they could have been.  Russell Island is a beautiful spot and the scenery is stunning
