1770 TO WIDE BAY BAR - A pleasant sail down inside Fraser Island

“Motorsailing! Can you believe it?” said the Captain with disdain, eliciting a knowing smile from the fetching first mate.😂 A private joke perhaps? Magical how quietly she moves on flat water with that beam reach sweet spot. That Australian East coast is beautiful, with so many protected anchorages. Thank you for the video.

Hey Pat thanks 🙏 yeah we had a bit of a joke there as we’ve also been known to motor sail :-) and yes the east coast has soo soo much to offer it’s really an incredible coastline to sail up and down.

Welcome to my home waters. I must admit I am jealous of the boat speeds you are generating. Take care crossing that Wide Bay Bay.

[@TrimaranSpiritXL]

Hey Jase can you please give Drew's Memorial Plaque a bit of a spit and polish if you get into the Hervey Bay Marina? So love watching your progress! Would love to see you guys sailing over to the Wild West Coast ❤

[@TrimaranSpiritXL]

Hey Nina definitely 👍 but it’ll have to be when we head north again as we were in a rush to get south this time so didn’t pull into Hervey Bay.

Nice end to the sail! Btw, copied your rig setup on our run from Monte Christi to Inagua and had a cracking sail. 6-7 in 10 on the beam. Thanks for the informative vids👍

[@TrimaranSpiritXL]

Sounds like a great trip - thanks 🙏 for the feedback! 😁

[@AndrewMoizer]

The motor sailing quip/look was priceless 😂. Did you pass the GBE?

[@TrimaranSpiritXL]

Yeah we cant talk thought we’ve been known to motor just at slower wind speeds :-) Spirit ended up passing both boats that left prior.
