Sailing the Sandy Straits with my sister

After our arrival in Bundaberg and meeting up with family members we took my brave sister cruising along the Sandy Straits in Faraway. Helen took to sailing like a fish to water and seemed to enjoy every moment of the cruising life. She was so relaxed that after only 1 hour of sailing she started doing some needlework in the cockpit. We motor sailed down to Moon Point for our first night's anchorage. The next day we went ashore in the dinghy and explored the wilderness shores of Fraser Island. We saw a lot of stingrays feeding in the shallows and hundreds of shore birds wading for their dinner. The next day we sailed down to Kingfisher Bay Resort and went ashore to do some hiking and explored the resort. In the afternoon we sailed further down the straits to South White Cliffs and did some fishing during our sundowner drinks. Unfortunately nothing was biting so we quit early and enjoyed more drinks and a BBQ dinner cooked by Ian. In the morning we made an early start so we could motor through the shallow Sheridan Flats so we could arrive in Tin Can Bay marina by mid afternoon. We put Faraway on a marina berth and packed our bags to spend a weekend on land in Brisbane. My sister wasn't finished with sailing and is due to come back and join us soon.
