Day 6 started with a beautiful sunrise in a mirror smooth anchorage. We motored through the rest of the 'deep south' of Moreton Bay becoming adept at finding shallow water, confusing channel markers and dodging idiots on jet skies or speed boats. We were finally rewarded with the open waters of the Bay, crystal clear skies and no wind. We have had a motor on for almost all of the day and everyone's ears are ringing. We even rigged the new genoa and it works! More work required in figuring out how to run the sheets but when it sets it really pulls!
We plan to sail through the night (again!) and then anchor at Double Island Point anchorage until we are ready to cross the Wide Bay bar - hopefully between 1030 - 1200 on Sunday (tomorrow) morning.

| Lake Mac is not the only graveyard for yachts although this one has two ospreys on the spreaders. |

| Only in Queensland........ |

| Yet another bloody sunset. This one lasted for nearly an hour! Magic! |
