Wednesday 15th August Mooloolaba to Double Island Point

Thanks to Liz and Lindsey for their hospitality, transport arrangements and Glenlivet. I can report that the Sebel Maroochydore is a splendid place. The washing machines and dryers work and that it stands out when observed from a couple of miles offshore in the early morning light.
Those of you who have fished with my bride will have an insight into the unbridled excitement when the unfortunate Tuna hooked himself. Having established that with a poled out headsail it was a trifle inconvenient to bring the vessel to a halt and back up a bit, my request for gloves delivered a pair of pink washing up gloves which afforded rather less protection than I had envisaged and hardly smacked of Ernest Hemingway. The fish eventually gave up and the smell of burning rubber soon faded.
Currently rolling our guts out at Double Island Point. Rhymes with clucking bell.
Over to Rex Hunt……….


Had a great stay in Mooloolaba (try spelling that after a few!!).
Had our first baby visit the boat and was rocked to sleep within minutes and then his older brother fell asleep 2 minutes after starting Happy Feet. Had absolutely nothing to do with their picnicking all day and Thomas running his little feet off chasing footballs .

Pam’s fishing Notes:Yaahooo….Yippeeee……The one that didn’t get away……..there are fish in them thar waters and biggens tooo!!!!!!!!!! Great all day, whales, HUGE TUNA at least 20 kls and dolphins so I’m a happy little camper. Sandy Strait here we come…………..
