CRUISING REPORT FEB 2012
Hi all,
The cruising section of the MBBC consists of boaties of any persuasion who are keen to get away for a day/weekend/or longer and just want to enjoy the water going past the boat as they sit there either on their vessel, or on the sand ashore, in company with other like minded souls and enjoying the conviviality of each others company. It is also a chance for those of somewhat less experience, confidence, or inclination to be away in company with others who may be able to assist them find that confidence to more enjoy their own boating experiences.
The only stipulation for anyone to join with us is :-
BOATS AND PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUESTED AND EXPECTED TO COMPLY WITH QLD TRANSPORT SAFETY LAWS, HAVE THEIR INSURANCE IN ORDER, AND BE AWARE THAT THE SKIPPER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF HIS VESSEL AND CREW
Our first cruise for 2012 will be Saturday/Sunday 25/26 February to the Bribie Passage with a BYO BBQ planned for the Sunday lunch at Bongaree, just north of the Bongaree public jetty. Some may not be able to get away for the whole weekend and that is not a problem, even if you can only make it over on the Sunday, you are more than welcome to join in. The tides will be helpful for those who venture over in the morning and return in the afternoon. Come and join with us.
The next cruise will be organised for Easter at Moreton Island. It is planned to watch the Brisbane - Gladstone yachts go past at the M8 beacon on Good Friday (6th April) then continue on and anchor in Lucinda Bay just south of Tangalooma and spend a couple of days there, or exploring further afield, before heading back.
The other happening of interest will be on Wednesday 22nd February there will be a no cost basic Navigation and chart reading night held at the MBBC from 6pm.
This has been a previously popular happening with those who have attended, and it has been requested again. For those who wish to attend the following items will be helpful - a chart of Moreton Bay, pencil, paper, chart plotter/divided ruler, calculator. As we will have to set up large tables so as to get the charts on, please call to reserve your spot.
I look forward to catching up with you somewhere on the water.
