Pelican Bay Anchorage

We set off from Mooloolaba at 1500 Thurs and just set the headsail since we only had about 50 nm to get to the Wide Bay Bar in the next 15 hours. A nice afternoons sail through to dusk and a full moon to enjoy the almost clear night on the silver reflective sea. It was an interesting night of variable conditions mostly about 10 knots from the south but a patch of 25 knots from the SE at 2300 with rain just after I came up on watch. We just had the head sail up and still got here 3 hours early so we hove too to wait for dawn. Dawn and another 5 yachts converged to follow us in. The wind turned westerly so on with the donk. The bar was OK being the last of the run in tide. We are anchored in Pelican Bay for a good sleep before continuing on north through the Sandy Straits.
All well on board
