0800hrs: Breakfast done and good news, our oldest daughter and her 5 kids are coming down from Toowoomba to spend this Sunday with us. They expect to be here around 1130hrs.
1030hrs: The rain has set in and the wind is up to around 20kts.
1115hrs: The wind is up to 25kts and as I exit the cabin I instantly notice that kids waterpark is much, much closer. About 5 metres away from our stern. OOPS!!
No probs, we'll just motor out and reset the anchor. 1st time--no good, still dragging; second time in another spot--still dragging. Third time lucky? we motored between a steel monohul and a big sailing cat. We've got the anchor to hold this time, but a bit close to the steel mono. Can't go back too much more as there is a channel marker behind us.
1230hrs: Finally, it appears safe to go ashore so we met up with our daughter and her beautiful kids/young adults. It "pissed" down all day, but it was great to seem them all again
