A big day… Solo round from Mooloolaba to Southport, going outside Moreton Island.

Got up early and left Mooloolaba around 5AM. I motor-sailed into the easterly until I got to Cape Moreton. Once I turned the corner, I could close-reach down the outside direct to Southport, making 7 to 8 knots.

Motored into the Gold Coast Seaway around 7PM. Ninety miles, thirteen hours: not bad for an old single-hander…

Found the Hogs Breath Cafe open and stuffed my face with a rack of ribs, washed down by a cold Corona!
