Cruising Tangalooma Wrecks, Moreton Bay and Wide Bay bar

[@billgardyne7328]

I remember as a young fella, in 1966, a mate of my dad was spearfishing near Tangalooma and was chased out of the water by a great white shark. It was bigger than our 17’ boat. They were still hanging around after the closure of the whaling station in 1962. I don’t recall if any of the wrecks had been sunk by that time.

[@martinworrall5888]

Be nice to see the Mrs in the vlog Stu.

[@RIPPERTON]

Yeah you get the impression Stu is alone on Renko he hides the misses so well.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

I quite like the steel boat resto at the end. Looks like most of that will clean up with a good buff.

[@amascia8327]

🤠... yup. Nothin a little hard work can't fix.

[@McTroyd]

Chase boat for Brupeg, then?

[@WillBreitholtz1]

Adrian would have it afloat and powering along in a week I reckon.

[@havocsquad1]

Nothing more expensive than a free project boat, especially if it's made of wood and fiberglass.

That storm front was awesome. If I saw that coming while I was out on the bay I would be quietly crapping myself. Love the sunrise/sunset footage. A very nice part of the world.

Thanks Ian, certainly was quite the storm!

And there’s the silver lining, great video Stu.

[@TheGreatdane56]

Wow. Wild storm clouds Beautiful scenery Cool wreak AWESOME country Thnx for sharing

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.

[@justinbayola]

That is called a shelf cloud and it leads the storm front as cold air pushes warm air in front of it up higher

[@raguhmuffin]

Also known as a squall line

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Stu It looks like everyone is having a super great time . The trick to fishing is, no matter if you catch 1 or 100 your still having fun trying 😉.

[@DangarMarine]

Absolutely! :)

[@rootsblowersanddetroits7419]

Nice sounding exhaust ! Thinking it got better ! Looking forward to coming up and getting this prop off

[@DangarMarine]

I think it sounds better too mate!

[@scottbeattie6645]

Stu. Another fantastic effort that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I’ve really been looking forward to this part of your passage and it hasn’t disappointed. The detailed, well planned, considered and executed entrances and exits of various ports with an emphasis on safety is so worthwhile to watch and learn from particularly with the maps, camera and live footage. Thanks so much.

[@DangarMarine]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@bloodyeyeful]

TY Stu. Very interesting and entertaining as always. Re that steel boat at the end...a little buffing and a trip to Adrians and she's good to go.

Nice to see more of the misses. Great videos though take care stay safe

[@timfreeman2603]

You cruised past my place near Maroochy mouth. I also did an advanced dive module on the Moreton wrecks.

[@DangarMarine]

Cool! :)

[@Coralita675]

Yes, Moreton Bay my backyard Stu you cruised past so many great fishing spots ( the Tangalooma wrecks is not one of them) but in case you didn't know Queensland has a closed season to snapper and pearl perch throughout Queensland tidal waters from midnight 15 July until midnight 16 August. Have a safe passage.

[@DangarMarine]

Intersting to hear about the closure, thanks for letting me know.

[@RoadhogRNA]

Man this a beautiful trip!!! So glad you guys are having fun!!!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, it has been a great trip so far, just need to be a bit warmer!

[@ApprenticeGM]

That cloud is called a "Roll Cloud" Stu - they can stretch for kilometres as one mass of air moves in over another, usually a cold front comes in over warm moist air. The warm moist air gets pushed up, creates condensation, and "rolls". Typical in a Southerly Buster around our way (I'm a wavesailor from the Central Coast). Glider Pilots can use the updraft to surf the cloud for a hundred kilometres plus.

[@DangarMarine]

Cool, thanks for the info. :)

[@dagenhamdave2611]

great video stu gorgeous views from the boat mate

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate.

[@TheDgdimick]

That storm front is really cool.

Catch yourself some Moreton Bay bugs on the way back. About 20 years ago I explored those wrecks - had a 'romantic' holiday at Tangalooma. GF at the time wanted to do the feed the dolphins thing. Quite the experience.

Nice to see you two make it this far up without to much nautical nonsense ,you missed visiting the jewels of Moreton bay ,Russell and Macleay islands ,or otherwise known as the halfwit Sunday's (visit and you'll know why).You passed through our neck off the woods Mudjimba beach and old woman island ,you truly are in paradise now safe passage.

Loving the new vlog thingy!! Way to go Stu. Love from sunny England

[@jocummins8889]

Another magic video, looks as though Moreton Bay dished up the usual variety for you guys. Great footage of the shelf cloud. I saw your instagram update from off Noosa and still thought you'd want to push on with the muck coming up behind you. Double Island Point is a nice spot, but could wear a bit thin after a few days stuck there without fresh Coopers.

[@DangarMarine]

Glad you liked it. Yes, I'm not sure how long I could be holed up in a lagoon like that for before going a bit stir crazy on a small boat like Renko.

[@TRADERnel]

Nice ride any cooking recipes you're going to share I'm glad you're enjoying yourself for a change

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Good thing the Resto Boat was smaller than Renko or it may have found a new home, great chapter in the Great Adventure of Renko Stu, Jeff in LA USA

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, if it was bigger it would have been tempting, but still too far gone. Would be easier to build from scratch.

Thanks

Welcome

[@bobbebbington5356]

Another great vid Stu. We get to see the beauty of our own area. The Widebay bar can be quite tricky so glad you were okay. Maloolaba entrance can be challenging at times because of the build up of sand at the entrance. Sorry I missed your arrival at Maloolaba. We could have had a brass band waiting for you. Anyhow enjoy the rest of your trip and have a good time in Bundy. They tell me the Rum is good any time of year.

Thanks, you too!

[@mrpaddy999888]

stu use a zman soft plastic 5inch nuclear chicken in either a jerk shad or a curly tail, jighead weight is dependent on the current so higher if there is a lot of current, 5/0 hook min 1oz weight when offshore if your in bays just drop the size of the plastic and weight also try a paternoster rig using squid as bait just dropped over the side, thanks for the knowledge

[@DangarMarine]

Soft plastics certainly are good to have on the boat, saves having any bait in the freezer which is already small enough. Thanks for the tips!

[@dondeserthead8538]

Heaya Stu from NZ. Visited those wrecks on a holiday to Tangaloma a few years ago. certainly is a special place.....even managed to catch {and release} a couple of small snapper. I think you guys call them Brim?. Said to The Missus then I'd love to explore the area by sea...looks like you've betean us to it!!

[@DangarMarine]

It was a nice area, that's for sure. I think Bream and snapper are related specifies, they look similar but snapper is bigger and a more pink/orange colour.

[@mvhassallfree1031]

We crossed the WBB a few days after you and the coast guard gave us a different / updated set of coordinates

[@DangarMarine]

Wow, they certainly charge frequently. Or maybe we were just at the tail end of a set?

[@philbox4566]

It's all well and good to cross the Wide Bay Bar but did you get bogged at Inskip Point? :)

[@StableNomad]

Renko is a cool little boat. I like seeing the difference between the way my sailboat and your power boat handle while underway. Even under power we roll much less. Have you ever considered a small riding sail to dampen the roll. I am a bit jealous of how much room you have for mechanical equipment. Where are your bunks on board?

[@DangarMarine]

It does seem like a great hard stand so far.

Wonder how an air breathing animal (dolphin) that lives in the water sleeps? I was hoping to see some underwater GoPro at the wreck reef. Water looked really clear. Used to dive (scuba and snorkel) a little around Panama Canal during my military days. No Gopro back then. Wall clouds are intimidating but beautiful.

[@forge20]

Rust provides the de oxygenated environment that Clostridium tetani thrives in. When combined with organic material such as soil, rust provides an ideal location for the bacterium, which is why there is an association between rust and tetanus in popular culture. On the other hand, it is highly unlikely that Clostridium tetani is going to survive in a heavily oxygenated and chlorinated environment such as a rusty ship.

[@DangarMarine]

It's probably good I've also had my tetanus vacination booster. :)

[@randynovick7972]

Pretty good. Keep up the fishing, though. You never know what you'll get, or when the bite will come.

[@DangarMarine]

That’s is true, you’ve got to be in it to win it!

[@heathwellsNZ]

Are you going to do a video discussing the pro's and con's of a boat this size for a trip like this and more? As a non-boat-owner view I can't help wonder if you ever think you wish you'd got something a bit bigger?

[@DangarMarine]

I will talk a bit more about it soon. This boat is ultimately going to be a work boat around the river so it is only ever really going to do this one long cruise. You would definitely want a bigger boat if you were going to do this type of thing more often.

[@michaeljones6256]

Will the Detroit Diesel gear driven bus alternator fit on the 4-71? A few hundred amps I believe.
