We ran out of fundamental food items such as flour, onions and ice cream (amongst other things). We left our quiet and peaceful anchorage this morning, but not without spotting a “dingo”, wild dogs living on Fraser Island.
We sailed against the current for 15 miles but the wind and flat seas made the trip quit pleasant.
Who named the place where we are now? No idea, what a strange name: “Tin Can Bay”!.
We are waiting for favorable conditions to go through the famous Wide Bay bar. It is apparently very notorious with the locals. You have to plan very carefully this passage as it is 3 miles of a very narrow channel with large breaking cross swells. You have to be in contact with the local coast guard before, during and after your crossing. Few boats were lost or flipped here so we prefer to wait to have a better swell than what’s now out there (3m).
