The plan is to sail Moonlight from Inskip Point up the Great Sandy Strait to River Heads
near Hervey Bay.
The Trip will take about 3 days, helped by a 25 knot South Easterly on day one.
I have done something Ive never tried before in this boat, We hove to out in the bay and
I reefed the main.
Pretty good job under pressure.
Now we are hooting along, hitting over 6 knots at one stage.When
the wind picks up to 25 knots or more at inskip point the swell starts to come in over the
bar and it gets pretty interesting in a 12 foot dinghy.
It is time to drop the mainsail and sail under jib alone, powering downwind at 4- 5 knots.
Pretty fast for a little boat like this.
