Becalmed to Near Gale - The Final Sail of our Great Barrier Reef Season - Ep 47

 


Our eight month odyssey sailing amongst Australia’s Great barrier Reef finally comes to an end.  We leave beautiful Double Island Point and experience everything from no wind to a near gale all in the one day as we make our way south, to Our Dreamtime’s home port in Manly Boat Harbour at Brisbane.

We left Double Island Point before dawn in sloppy seas and 10 knots of wind.

The wind dropped to nothing during the morning.

We over took our friends Liam and Allison on SV Velindra off Noosa Heads

Conditions changed off Bribie Island and Karen was kept busy tending the main sheet.

We reefed the mainsail to suite the 25-30 knot gusts and wind against tide conditions.

What goes up must come down - with a splash


Once around the southern tip of Bribie Island we surfed our way to Pumicestone Passage for the night


Next day we enjoyed a lovely light airs sail to Manly Boat Harbour
