Southport back to Mooloolaba
After almost eight weeks in Bum's Bay, Southport, Billabong was finally on the move again! It was a quick trip; our goal to get to Mooloolaba so that we could leave Billabong and discover Australia by land. It was also an uneventful trip; some rain & thunder, crab hunting with no results, lots of midges & mosquitoes, and a few anchorages to ourselves and other's shared with hundreds!
Our journey went something like this:
2/10: Still in Southport, but out moved of Bum's Bay
2/11: Morning visit to Tippler's, then moved on to Tiger Mullet Channel
2/12: Stayed in Tiger for the day w/ lightning storms (did some crabbing, but didn't catch anything)
2/13: Slipping Sands (rain & lightning)
2/14: Russel Island
2/15: Tangalooma, where we hooked up with old friends on Gypsy Wind
2/16: Arrived in Moolooaba by the afternoon. We were treated to a BBQ and hot showers!
2/17 - 2/19: Got the boat 'put away', packed, and were ready to hit the highway!
