Had a great day sailing with not much breeze in the morning on the 5/2/12.
Left Redland Bay approx 1100 hrs with the missus and 2 good friends. Water temp was a balmy 27deg.



Sailed towards Peel and saw it was like a car park on Xmas eve so headed towards Straddie. The Breeze that was with us approx 10kts deserted us so decided to head to Blakesleys. By this time with low 30 deg temps and only shade being the sails, we decided to take a dip in about 5 meters of water and trawl for sharks




At one stage my mate was swimming faster than we were moving.

Once at Blakesleys we enjoyed the serenity of the beach as there was only 3 other boats there and a whole beach to explore




Trip back was keel up and straight across Pelican Banks with turtles for company. Hard buggers to photograph.







Sad thing was, we only saw 3 other sets of sails all day. Moreton is a big beautiful bay and at the moment its full of STINKIES. Come on guys get out there you don,t know what your missing
Cheers
Ken

This last weekend (11th and 12th Feb) was much the same on the bay. I left Redland bay in my Cat on the high tide at 11pm Friday and got to Tango at 4am Saturday (no wind so had to use the engine) for a perfect weekend on the water. Stopped in at Horseshoe on the way back for a BBQ and another swim.

Nice Trace, did the boys find a mast? Be good when the Pup gets here if we can drag him away from the LB's
