The Tide Caught Us Out! | Exploring Hidden Rock Pools, Sailing to Cape Upstart & Magnetic Island
Welcome back aboard Moor R & R for this week’s Adventure! Episode 36
After our stay in Bowen, with our electrical issues and generator finally repaired, we set sail for Cape Upstart.
On the way, we’re lucky enough to catch a couple of spotted mackerel. As the only boat to catch fish on the passage, we decide to share our catch with everyone else.
Once at Cape Upstart, we head ashore to explore some beautiful hidden rock pools tucked away up a valley. They certainly don’t disappoint! Although there wasn’t enough water flowing to swim, the scenery alone made the hike worthwhile.
From there, we enjoy a fantastic sail north to the stunning Magnetic Island. After dropping anchor, we head ashore to celebrate another successful passage with a well-earned drink.
But things don’t quite go to plan… We make a rookie mistake with the tender. We did the right thing by anchoring it a little offshore to stop it from being beached, but we forgot to check the tide. By the time we returned, both tenders were floating in water over waist deep! Hugh took one for the team, jumped in, and swam out to retrieve them before bringing them safely back to shore.
Come along for the highs and lows of life at sea – the joy of community, the challenge of sailing, and all the fun we get up too !!!
