position - 23degrees 58 minutes S; 155 degrees 04 minutes E
Sailing at 6.2 knots course 259 in 20 -25 knot SSE.
Main stowed and sailing under reefed jib alone ready for forecast strong winds (30-35 knots) and rough seas (3 metres plus 1.2 metre swells, probably more as the water shallows near the coast). easier to stow the main while conditions still manageable, even though we are underpowered at present .
108 miles to go to waypoint rounding the sandbanks north of Fraser Island, hopefully sheltered water after that. Should arrive at entrance to the bundaberg river early tomorrow morning.
