They have recently installed six permanent mooring bouys at pancake creek , two out the front and four just after you enter the back section. After a fast sail from Gladstone single handed and a rough ride in with a runout tide I decided to grab one , big mistake. The bouys have a strop on them suitable for a very big boat , the length would have to be 5 or 6 metres .So if your boat likes to do circle work around the anchor when the wind and tides are opposite the bouy likes to bash on the side of the hull or pop under the boat ,I have a full keel , my mate on a cav 32 had the line catch on his keel . They would be great for a big cruiser or larger yacht , rated to 34 knots and 15 metre vessel ( from memory) or a toy like mine in calm conditions. I moved out the back to anchor and discovered that navionics tide information is vastly different to the tide charts , I'm still floating so navionics in this case was correct
