Day 51: Mackay Marina

En route to Mackay.

Another early start for the 8 hour run to Mackay. Seas not too bad but it drizzled most of the way. That's fine except when approaching the mooring fields off Hays Point. There are a couple of dozen bulk carriers anchored off that need to be avoided. Like any other vessel, they swing on their anchors. Wouldn't want to get side-swiped by something 300m long!

The mooring field off Hays Point.

Found our berth in the marina and did an average park. Still getting the hang of this but improving with experience.

Safely in the berth.
Joined a group of about a dozen people at the Thai. Great buffet.
