We went for a walk on Fraser Island from Garry's Anchorage north along what seems to be and old logging track. Up and back took around 2 hrs and we headed back to our boats to ready ourselves to depart at around midday, so we could arrive at the shallowest part of the Great Sandy Straights about an hour and a half before the the high tide.
We arrived at Sheridan Flats, the shallow point on time. A phonecall to the local VMR before departing turned out to to be well worthwhile as on of the key marker buoys had been relocated 70 m to the west and all of the chart info for this section of the passage was to be ignored as the leads were now incorrect.
Having passed through this area with no problems, we are now anchored at South White Cliffs. There was a rush to get the crab pots out and get the fishing lines in the water. Whilst the boys headed out hunting for crabs, the girls quickly had the lines in the water using some left over steak as bait.
Rod and Lee came over for sundowners, no crabs yet, but the girls have had their hooks bitten off 3 times ( now on wire traces but no further action).
Dinner on board with just the 4 of us, Chicken Satay, most enjoyable !
