December 30
We
left Scarborough early this morning at about 5:15am and headed South on the
last leg of our journey to the city of
Brisbane
. The total distance is about 33 miles to the Dockside marina right in
downtown
Brisbane
. Conditions are fine with a light wind of 5-10k from the NNE. Seas are very
calm with a slight swell from the NE. The shoal waters of
Moreton
Bay
make for very calm seas in all but the highest winds when, apparently, they
really stack up.
We
entered the mouth of the
Brisbane
River
at about 7:45am and reached the marina at precisely 9:30am where we docked
in our slip without incident. We plan to wash up and relax for an hour or
two then head into the city on the ferry which has a stop right at the
marina!
