Sounds like a good idea.
I'm in.

Love the idea and just a shot run down from Mooloolaba.

Bill

im in..

I need to high tide late afternoon as well to get back to my mooring the next day.

Pencil me in for a tentative.
At a pinch, the new boat could be ready by then, this could well be its first outing.
Edit: Don't worry about my availability, there are too many things that could change my hoped for splash date.

I'd love to jump on someone else's boat if I have the right time off ... too far to bring mine.

Hi Selkie,

Would love that!!! Where will you be sailing from? PM Me!

Great HG... sounds like a good get together in the making.

Hi Vince

Lucinda Bay - the next anchorage to the south of Tangalooma - is a beautiful spot as well.

Heaps quieter than Tangalooma and a lot less stress trying to get a spot to anchor.

Loads of wildlife - the dolphins hang down there, as do turtles, dugongs, and heaps of stingrays basking in the shallows. I'm a bit biased. It's one of my favourite places

Selkie
I agree Lucinda Bay is nice and quieter than Tanagalooma with access to shore on any tide which will open up more dates.

Does anyone else want to make a suggestion?

I'll bring a hookah!
For those of you with their minds in the gutter, that is hookah with an ah, this is not a typo
I won't have a chance to field test it before then, I might try and find some adventurous Seabreezer soul to road test it in front of everyone.

Great sounds like we have some entertainment
I assume you mean the diving hookah rather than the smoking hookah??

Any date and place is OK with me at the moment.
Happy to take a couple of crew as well. Someone that can show me how to point her where I want her to go when going astern would be a major bonus.

SB, heheheh...sadly, the diving kind.....

I reckon we should all leave our yachts at berth and go on Shaggy's new boat and give her a workout.

And the entire time Shags is gonna wish he was on somebody else's boat

Maybe I should just lend it to you guys, that way I wont be as stressed!

As there has been no more suggestions for a anchorage I think we should lock in Lucinda Bay south of Tangalooma as the anchorage.
The blue marker in Nav screen shot below marks the general location.
It's approx 15-16 Nm depending which Brisbane Marina you come from, so about a 3.5 hr sail without too much tacking.

The next thing to be decided is the date, I think the 21& 22 Nov has the best tide with a run out tide Saturday morning which will help the sail over and a run in tide after lunch on the Sunday which will assist coming home.
There's more chance of getting SE or NE winds in late Nov which are good for this anchorage.

If I don't get any comment over the next few days I'll lock in the 21 & 22 Nov.

If people are coming from interstate and want a longer trip we could look at making it a 3 day weekend and do a sail up to Tangalooma on the Sunday and stay Sunday night there after the weekender's have gone home. I'd be happy to take Monday off.
There is also the option for people to stay at the resort for a few days and get the ferry back to Brisbane (if you don't have a boat)


Cheers

Vince
