Going sailing is not just getting on the boat and putting the sails up.
It requires good preparation before hand and depending on your journey you might need more or less and always be ready for unexpected things to happen.
But somehow you will always require a minimum to take with you which always feels like you have too much. We always feel its too much but actually we use it all. So my understanding in preparation is that you could go out for a weekend or a week, it will take as long.
Our plans were to sail around Green Island prior heading to Fitzroy Island. But we took off too late for that. We had to stop at the marina to get water, that requires time as well.
On Fitzroy Island, you have limited amount of buoy, so sometimes anchoring is your only option. On this trip, we decided to anchor no matter if a buoy was available or not as we had bad experiences with the buoy banging on the boat and keeping us awake.
Beautiful little weekend away again and loving the time at sea spending as a family.
Until next time,
Mel, Fred & William
