Had a good run up to Double Island Point. Seas were a bit lumpy towards the end. A fighter jet travelling along the beach scared hell out of me when it went overhead.
Double Island Point was spectacular as I passed the front at last light. Towering rock cliffs bought back memories of when I had fished them with Coast fishing icon Bruce Cooper. Also strong memories of the first time I went fishing there. It was with Marilyn’s father Allen and his son Kevin .I think it was an outing of the Nambour Fishing Club, Kevin was tragically killed several years later in a car accident at Currimundi. It was quite different to see the Point from a different perspective.I anchored on the Northern side of Double Island Point. Ian Atkinson had told me that this was one of the bounciest moorings on the East Coast. He had pointed out that I should go straight through the Wide Bar. I guess we all have to learn lessons in life! I found out one that night, Ian was Right!!
