We’re getting ready to leave New Caledonia and sail to Australia. Today was route plotting and satellite image downloading day. I ran across this beautiful (and slightly scary) image of the sandbanks inside Morton Island near Brisbane.
I say “scary” because of how fluid the sand banks and channels look on the image. They don’t look like it’s safe to count on them being in the same position two days in a row! Here’s our planned route winding through the maze…
Brisbane is actually our plan B (or was that C, D or E?) destination. We’d like to get all the way to Newcastle, about 70 miles north of Sydney. We’ll see what the weather lets us do. -Rich
