Trip up from Noosa was wet and windy. SE winds 15-20 knots with 25knots heading around Double Island Point. SE swell of 1.6m. Anchored behind Double Island Point on Rainbow Beach in 4.5m water with a sandy bottom outside the lagoon- good holdin. In heavy rain. Swell was a little uncomfortable overnight but not unbearable. Wind due to swing to north east around lunchtime which will make us very exposed here. Plan to wait here until 1:30pm to time our run to the Wide Bay Bar. High tide is at 7:05pm at ‘Inskip’ and it will be a high high so we plan to get there around 3:30pm to allow us plenty of time to get in and anchor before dark. Recommended crossing is usually 2 hrs ahead of high tide due to a complex series of shallow sandbars outside the entrance but the tide at 3:30pm today will be around the same as it was at high tide at 7am this morning.
