Episode 1 Sailing Mooloolaba to Sandy Straights

At last! We are finally sailing after spending 8 years restoring this boat, which we purchased after the 2011 Brisbane floods.
This video is of our first day of our first season cruising up the Queensland coast. We sail from Mooloolaba and anchor for the night at Double Island Point.
Yes, the boat was an absolute mess when we bought it and had to be completely gutted, new deck, new rigging, new electrics, new motor.
I'll be uploading a video down the track, which is mostly just photos, with the "before" shots and a some videos later in the restoration project.

Thank you for sharing. I've sailed the Great Sandy Straits and Hervey Bay more times than I can remember, but it never gets old. It always looks the same on the water. I'll be on my own liveaboard yacht soon...
