We sailed... actually sailed!!! No motor just sails and wind, it was awesome! About 4 hours from Southport to The Northern Bedroom at the top of South Stradbroke Island.
It was a relatively uneventful trip... well, we met with a sandbar but that's nothing unusual and a couple of mangled toes later we made it and anchored just near a mate of ours, Colin (aboard Interlude). Colin's a salty old sea dog, a little long in the tooth (it would be rude of me to put a number on it) who is full of great stories and much encouragement. It was to be our last "interlude" with Colin as we head north and heads south back to Hobart. We had a couple of drinks and a lot of laughs!
South Stradbroke is beautiful. Wallabies, kanagroos, goannas and heaps of sea life. We have done a few weekend trips up here during our time at Southport. The kids love South Stradbroke and could probably live here happily for the rest of their days.
