Janet, Angelique and Alastair Kingham arrive and we all head off into
the Gold Coast waters. We had a good sail and dropped the girls off for
some shopping, which is when the boys sailed out through the heads for
a test.
In the evening we anchored in the bay nestled in around the spit.

Real adventure starts, Stepehn Kingham, Murray Rainey, Carl Braybrook
and Justin Laughlin motor sail up through the shallow river ways into

The next morning Craig Hanpstead arrives early and we start on the next
day of the journey. On the way we discover we do not have enough milk
and chocolate so we have a good time dropping into picturesque Maroochydore.
The wind was great and the seas good but we did not arrive at the bottom
of Fraser Island until evening so rather than wait until tomorrow to see
if we can get in over the bar we decide to keep going up and around the
top.

The next moring we drop into Great Kepple Island. Obviously way too early
for the inhabitance so after a decent walk amongst the village to find
absolutely no sign of life we headed back out.
When we got to Salt Water bay we had a problem with the starboard motor
so we took the ultu conservative option to turn the motors off and sail
the rest of the way until we got to a berth to check them out.
