Sunday and Monday in Mooloolaba

After completing marina check in procedures, and a short rest, we set out to explore Mooloolaba on foot.




On a berth just near the marina office was Ella's Pink Lady and the support catamaran, we saw a lot of on TV as she arrived in Sydney. Later in the afternoon we saw her coming back into the harbour with Jessica at the helm and probably her father as crew.

We walked into town to get an idea where everything was, had lunch in town, and eventually found the Coles Supermarket and stocked up on a few supplies.



We had a good nights sleep and when we went for a walk Mon (12th) morning, Ella's Pink Lady was gone, possibly setting out to Sydney for the boat show in a few weeks.



Low tide today was very low 0.08 m, followed by a King Tide tonight (2.11m). One of the racing yachts on the marina sat on the bottom for the about 2 hours at the bottom of the low tide.

Seafood here is plentiful and well priced, and the fishing fleet and fisherman's market is near the marina. Coffin Bay Oysters, fresh snapper, calamari and chips from the wholesale market made a most enjoyable dinner.
