Cape Capricorn, Queensland, Oz

We left Bundaberg three days ago after spending just
over a week there.The  marina was excellent,
very easy in and out and well run. The same
cannot be said  for the local services. I had
some work done on my Genoa at an outrageous price
but I don't think that I had much choice.
Otherwise, the time passed by very  quickly.
The town itself was quite interesting being
the sugar capital of Oz and  you could see sugar cane
for miles and miles in every direction.
Bundaberg is  also home to the nationally famous
Bundaberg rum and Bundaberg ginger beer.
Tours of the factory were offered but we declined.
Not much in the way of  eateries except for a
Thai/Indian place we patronized quite a bit and
we thought it excellent.We met up with some old
friends from last year, including Lori and Ken
from Trim and John and Cheryl from Sea Mist
and we made some new ones as well.
We left early to get to the next anchorage
called Pancake Creek some 60 miles to the
northwest. It took some getting into but once there,
was very quiet and  safe. There are some huge
tides in Queensland and we would not have been
able to  enter or leave at half tide.
We left this morning for Cape Capricorn and it is
thus named as it sits on the  Tropic of Capricorn
at 23 degrees 30 minutes south. Hopefully, we will
have a quiet night and it's on to Great Keppel Island
tomorrow as we make our way to  the Whitsunday Islands.
