Monday 27th September
Up early , and at 6 am, Cooinda headed out of the marina. We waited another 20 minutes to get a little bit more tide under us to clear the entrance shoal.
It was a calm day with light SE winds ( less than 10 knots), so it was a motor all the way job (again !). We pushed against a 1 to 1.5 knot current most of the way. It was a pretty uneventful trip and we arrived at Pancake Creek and had the anchor down at 5.45 pm. We came it at low tide so had to be a bit careful coming in. It was quite crowded in the first bay where we anchored, last time there were 3 boats , including us, this time 8. There wasn't much room for anyone else.
Another CCCA member, Kyeema, was already there. Rod and Lee know them, but it was late so didn't make contact.
We ate on board and got an early night as tomorrow we intend heading to Bundaberg (another 60nm) so it will be another early start. The forecast says we can expect a NE breeze. I'll believe it when I see it !
