Kingfisher Bay

This is the main resort on Fraser Island and it has good Anchorage space. We will come back here tomorrow night. Apparently there are fantastic pizzas here but we don’t have a tender yet so can’tRead more
TravelerWe have bought a 35 ft Hanse mono hull, Ali. It’s very new for me and I’m still getting my sea legs and confidence but Steve knows what he’s doing. Thank God!😀🥰
TravelerLooks great Gabi and congrats. We’ve just sold our 22 ft trailer sailor after 12 yrs for a caravan and had lots of great adventures over the years. Bit of a change for now, but will probably go back sailing in the future. (Something bigger). Loving your adventure and totally understand you’re still getting your sea legs. I think I still am!!!!

Wow this is a bit of a find! A spectacular spot very closer to K’gari. We just saw two dingos walking past us along the beach. Luckily they were on the beach and didn’t look interested in swimmingRead more

We had a lovely last day, beginning with a restful and relaxing brekkie and slowly making our way back to Tin Can Bay. We were able to sail for about 2/3 of the trip and are beginning to work togetherRead more

Great photo, Steve. You look a little bit happy.
