Small Sailboat Cruising's video: Open dinghy cruising Ungowa to Hervey Bay Fraser Island Day 4

Open Dinghy Cruising from Ungowa to Hervey Bay. This is day 4, the final leg of my adventure in Moonlight, a 12 ft clinker built from Huon Pine in Tasmania 1980. I started out in my sailboat at Inskip point near the South of Fraser Island, and I was mostly sailing rather than motoring for 3 out of 4 days. I camped at Figtree Creek the first night, where I tried to catch a fish, but the fish were not cooperating. The second night I took our cruising dinghy up to Garry's Anchorage where I camped just North of the main anchorage. 00:00 Setting out from Deep Creek 00:13 Deep Creek log landing - very pretty and beautiful place to sleep onboard. 00:44 No wind today - motoring along with 15 Nm to cover today. 01:18 The wreck of the Ceratoga 03:15 The story of Eliza Fraser whom the island is named after. While there, I was invited on-board one of the catamarans for cold ale and snacks. Meeting with Bob, and our hosts were a highlight of the trip. Bob, a boat builder, now retired took a keen interest in Moonlight, and even gave my a short tow the following day heading up to Ungowa.
