sunrise to sunsets

Above is the A frame hut at Middle Percy Island, a favourite stopover for those sailing by and stopping for a day, maybe a few days. This hut is full of plaques and scraps where people have left the names of their boats here, now Tesca has a plaque of her own....

This sunrise was at Island Head Creek in the Shoalwater Bay area, just north of the Kepples

dolphins bow riding as we neared the Kepples, trip has been great with favourable coniditons, though a couple of days were a bit lumpy.

we set sail at sunrise, and by about 4 to 4.30pm we have reached our days destination.

Urangan to Burnett Heads (Bundaberg)

Urangan Pier

WE set sail 7.30 am after fueling up, easy run with not much wind, arrived at Burnett heads just at 3pm

When is a crocodile not a crocodile...?

Tesca on the lifter

Tesca being lifted into the water, when the boat was level with the tyres Harry jumped on board to motor over to the pen, they had a plank for me to walk over to Tesca... gotta be joking, yeah I chickened out on that one... give me the Sydney Harbour Bridge any time.

Once into the water Harry guided Tesca into a pen beside a sailing cat, just inches to spare, shes a big boat with a lot of grunt.

So Tesca is happy in the pen, few more jobs to do, provisioning, cleaning, tidying up at home.

Monday looks a favourable day according to the Buddhist calender for setting off on our trip

Tesca back in the water

Tesca on the lifter heading back into the water, all went well with no dramas... she looks huge out of the water.

preparations under way

Tesca is on the hard stand, the anti-fouling has been done, the boot top has had first coat yesterday, to day is raining so not so good for last minute painting, hopefully tomorrow the sun will be shining once again to complete last minute tasks before Tesca is lifted into the water tomorrow.
