- Sailing boat "Time Flies" on a journey up the east coast of Australia with Dean and Fiona. We leave Mooloolaba early morning to time our arrival through the notorious Wide Bay Bar.
We continue on to see some of the sights of Fraser Island and navigate through some shallow sand banks.
Another great video guys!
Great watch your journey, you picked wvb no ely
Thankyou Allan 👍
im enjoying the videos like to see more of your adventures
Thanks for your comment Mark, working on the next video as we speak.
has been awhile since your last movie but worth the wait. enjoy your travels and look forward to episode 11.
Thanks Michael, we have been a bit slack with the video editing. will try to get motivated and get some more out soon. dean n fee.
HI WHAT TYPE OF YACHT ARE YOU SAILING ALSO WHAT NAV APP ARE YOU USING / GREAT VIDEOS CHEERS LEE
Thanks Lee, our boat is a Northshore 33 its a well known Australian built cruiser racer. We use openCPN on the laptop for planning passages and use Raymarine MFD Navionics on the helm when coming into anchorages. Cheers Deann Fee
Sailing Time Flies Thanks for that let me know if to many questions looking at a mottle 33 any thoughts also autopilot any suggestions
We know a couple of mottle owners, great layout down below and a well built yacht. We have a raymarine wheel pilot which does the job ok on a 10mtr yacht. Our boat is for sale if you are interested.haha
Sailing Time Flies have you guys finished sailing how much are you asking for the north shore and whats the draft and what the ideal draft for coastal cruising /are you looking to buy a lager yacht
Lee
We haven't finished sailing Lee, we love living on the water and looking to buy a larger yacht so we can travel further. Our boat has a 1.7mtr draft which has been very good for east coast Australia and around the Whitsunday islands.
Long time between videos but well worth the wait. Nice video. I have sailed that passage many times and have just recently bought a house at River Heads and we can see Kingfisher Resort from our lounge. Will be bringing my boat up from Brisbane soon so will be spending a lot of time in the Great Sandy Straits.
thanks for watching Greg , river heads sounds awesome. enjoy the sailing. we got a bit slack there but the next video is nearly ready and will post it soon. cheers dean and fiona.
thanks for that, can't wait for the next video,in the next two years we are selling up &sailing up north to live, but we need to do learn to sail 😭so much to do 😏
we're doing the same but next year
what type of boat? we are hoping to get a catamaran
looking at monohull
Cool. Thanks!
Hard to tell with latency of uploads, but Catalpa seems to be in the same area.
Thanks Mark, haven't come across Catalpa yet, this video was taken august 2016, I am a bit slow with my editing. :-)Dean and Fiona.
May I ask what your draft is? Did you have much clearance crossing Wide Bay bar? Thank you Gray

Hi Graham, time flies has a draft of 1.7mtr. We didn't find depth a problem at all going through the bar. Although we did lots of homework and stayed on our route. We were very lucky to have perfect conditions and didn't find it no where near as bad as what we had heard.
Cheers Dean and Fiona
@@SailingTimeFlies thank you Dean and Fiona. I live aboard a Hartley 34. Draft is1.8. So I should be OK too.
Cheers Gray

I think we got the latest way points from VMR the day before. There are a few sandbars you want to avoid on your approach.
love your video , how far are you going up , will you be going to the Whitsunday Islands ?
Thanks for your comment Katy, This was taken August 2016, we have since been to Whitsundays and loved it... we are now in Cairns. I have been a bit slow with the video editing. cheers Dean n Fee.
Really nice location but the small worry about crocs would be a bummer. How often do you see them?
Thanks for watching jack, It was a fantastic spot to anchor. We have not yet seen a croc on our travels, I have heard is is very rare to see them on Fraser island.
You guys were really bundled up for cold weather, I didn't think it got cold in Australia?
Thanks for watching John, winter months can be quite cool here expecially on the south coast. we are further north now and the climate is much nicer :-) Dean n Fiona.
Thanks for the info you have been very helpful good luck on your adventures / how is it in Airlie I am in mount isa working / home down back on Macleay is
Airlie is a great place to be we enjoy it here, I'm sure Macleay island is a nice spot also we are both very lucky.
looks like fun
get a fur ball for your mic, it will cut the wind noise.
thanks mick, still having fun., good idea about the furry thing on the microphone. wish i had done it earlier.
What do you use the timber plank for on the pushpit rail?
HI Noel, The main purpose of it was as a fender board. We only used it once but it did come in handy when tied up to to the pier in bermagui during an east coat low. Used it as seating a couple of times but decided to get rid of it when we arrived in the whitsundays. 👍
nice
thanks for your feedback urabus
good vid.... just please, dont photoshop crocs in the thumbsnail.... we dont need more clickbaits... have a nice trip!
Thanks for the feedback Guillermo.
Great video, we also touched bottom and had to wait for the tide to rise! Love that part of the coast. We are now in Far North Queensland and have posted a few vids on the way that you might be interested in. If you'd like to see crocs you should go via the Hinchinbrook Channel. If you're interested our channel is Sailing with Zefr. fair winds, Anna n Gary
Thanks for watching Anna n Gary, we just crossed paths at Dunk island but didn't get to say hello before you left. All the best for sailing Indonesia we look forward to watching your videos and WWSA. Dean n Fiona
Cold so she puts her PJ's on Must be married.
