Fast Forward to Queensland: Fog on Cape Gloucester 17Aug24.
Beautiful sunny days can sometimes have quite a different start here in North Queensland. What started off as a clear morning soon became one where fog was creeping over the hills and across the sea in a most amazing way.
Gloucester Ireland with her towering Mount Bertha started off clearly but was soon enveloped in the fog that crept across the world on this humid morning.
The show was incredible as things move very quickly and landmarks disappeared behind the mist.
Nature is wonderful.

A beautiful sunny light wind day, perfect for a cruise around the Whitsunday Islands to the north. Join me as I take a sail from Olden Island north of Airlie Beach around Point George, Saddleback Island into little Jonah Bay. The glassy Waters make it perfect to spy whales breaching in the distance and also mother and calf. this must definitely be a nursery for whales. #boating #cruise #cruisin...

A day of undoing the work of the last rainy days, appreciating the surroundings and going ashore in my private beach. This idyllic setting in the east part of Cape Gloucester, Queensland is a wonderful escape. No roads. The only way in is by boat, so I feel priceless to be one of the few who makes it here to enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings. #boating #cruise #cruising #yacht #yachtlife #...

The sun was back, the rain had cleared and the wind just dropped. A bluebird day for a sail. Today is a bit of a tour of some of the northern islands of the Whitsunday Island Group. Come aboard as we visit Double Cone Island, Armit Island, Gumbrel Island and Olden Island. White coral beaches, turquoise waters, heaven. I ended up finding a lovely secluded beach to spend a couple of nights. No pe...

Bidding farewell to my brother at Airlie Beach I left the Coral Sea Marina to find shelter to the north in Woodwark Bay. The rain came down and the wind was strong as I headed out into Pioneer Bay. It was Airlie Race Week and I had to make sure I was clear of their course as I skirted the coast. Woodwark Bay was every bit the shelter I sought. The next two days were just about hunkering down. #...

Deciding we would take a chance and see if we could get an extra night at Airlie Beach, we left Nara Inlet to cross the Waters to the mainland which were choppy and still very windy. With reefed sails we crossed and bounced our way through the waves to arrive off the coast of Airlie Beach where we were treated to some antics by a calf humpback whale. Amazing! At first we were disappointed in no...

Today we left Blue Pearl Bay on Hayman Island in Queensland's Whitsunday Islands. Our aim was to go to Stonehaven on the West coast of Hook Island which looked like a nice shelter from the strong southerlies blowing. On the way we passed the popular Hayman Island resort. By the end of the day, we found ourselves in Nara Inlet on the south coast of Hook Island. Come join us to find out why. #boa...

Join us as we have an amazing day cruising and exploring places in Queensland's Whitsunday islands. Today was a full day which started with a bush walk up to the lookout over Hill Creek and Whitehaven Beach. The colours are amazing, from Whitehaven's bone white sand to the turquoise and blues of the river estuary. Hard to believe it's real. We then set off from Tongue for the sail up to Butterf...

Our first morning on Hamilton Island and we stocked up our supplies at the mini mart there and made ready to leave. Departing to the south we crossed the bottom of the island and headed for Solway Passage, between Whitsunday Island and Hazelwood Islands. The tide rips through this narrow channel and one exiting we witnessed some pretty large whirlpools. We visited Chalkies Beach and the famous ...

After being buffeted by winds and waves for a few days now at Thomas Island, I thought it was time to do something different. on some good advice I heard that Gulnare Inlet was one of the best anchorages in the Whitsundays. Located on the southern coast of Whitsunday Island it was also nice and close to Hamilton Island where I need to be on the 4th of August. Under a half jib I left Shaw Island...

Well, I was all set to enjoy my little private Beach but the low tide in the morning showed me that it was full of rocks at the bottom. Abbott disappointing but I decided it might be time to move on to the next place then. It was not far 2 Thomas Island my next nominated stop so I decided it was time to get going. Only a 2-hour sail so I did it at a leisurely pace. Thomas Island offered a nice ...

Knowing that strong winds were coming, I decided that I needed better shelter. As the morning progressed I could see that the wind was already building. Mid morning I weighed anchor and ran out the jib only. The run was going to be a fairly short one and a broad reach which would make it fast. The wind was pretty strong by the time I got the more open water and quite exciting going. Even on the...

Carlisle Island was a lovely backdrop with it's tall mountain, but it had been a rolly night and the beach didn't look that great so decided I'll keep moving north. Goldsmith Island was next on my list of recommendations and it showed to have a perfect Anchorage. Only a short couple of hours. The cruising is getting more interesting now as the islands are getting closer together and there are m...

The strong were coming to an end, it was time to continue the journey North. Today's run would be from Mackay to Brampton/Carlisle Islands. Only around 5 hours. There was still significant swell running as I exited the harbour in a rain shower. The current wind didn't really make up for the swell, so there was a lot of rigging slap going on. That gets old really quickly. The day improved, the s...

Looking forward to being part of the journey 😃
Looking forward to you coming aboard.
I didn't hear the anchor ⚓ alarm at all. NOW I miss it.😂
🤣😂 I'll cut it out and send it to you..
Warm weather? I envy you . Not up to sailing these days, but enjoy this fillum and I can be an armchair adventurer.
I hope you enjoy. The weather isn't that warm at the moment, but it will return.
Beyond amazing 👌👌💯💯✌️
Thank you. You're right though.
Enjoy. I have to remind myself I'm here sometimes.
Woops Peter, voice overs still coming on to early!
I'll get it right yet. 😂
I guess Brampton Island resort very cheap to stay BUT no power or water?😂
From what I read it's not accessible. So many of these once popular resorts have closed and sit derelict. Shame.

👍🏻 “living the dream” ☝️❤️🙏
Yes, I feel very lucky.
Thanks for the video's of your journey 🎉. How do know where to go through those island's? Looks confusing, does a chart plotter show you? I guess your hugging the Coast? I'm getting a headache before I buy my yacht. Thanks Stevo
I do use a chart plotter and pre-plan each part of the journey taking into consideration weather, tides and various other factors. It's not difficult it just takes a bit of concentration and planning. Greatly thinking of buying a yacht what are you looking at doing with it?
@@Dawnraider I'm just going to do coastal cruising around the Gold Coast. When more skilled, GO north, maybe to Darwin, when NOT cyclone season. I'll like to sail to Lord Howe Island, one day.
hello? I'm a Korean. My fiancee lives there. I became interested. If all goes according to plan, I plan to visit there next February and get married there in September. I think it is a peaceful and beautiful city. take care of yourself.
Yes it is a very nice place and nice climate too. Congratulations and I hope you will be very happy here, both of you.
Woops Peter, some of your voice overs are misplaced and over your live commentary. Excellent videos anyway. 😊
Thanks for letting me know and for liking them.
I only see 4 rocks!😂
Maybe that first one counts as two. Or it fell like the 12th apostle. 😂
Bit of a choice Peter, Decimal day 💰 or the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior 🏴☠
Good point. I didn't realise the Rainbow Warrior was on 10 July. I was going with Decimal Currency. Funny how those things stick in your head.
those drum lines are disgraceful
They are aren't they. I bet most of those sharks just die on them.
Flying into Sydney is always a wonderful experience.
Yes, so many wonderful sights to see
And the two drinks made famous by Bundaberg? Next instalment?
Rum and Ginger Beer. Do you know why they use the polar bear as a logo?
Peter, with respect to those black boulders at the beach, these are indeed volcanic. About 5 kilometres inland from Bargara there is a rise in the landscape known as The Hummock. This is the remnant of an old volcano that deposited lava out to the coast all the way from Elliott Heads in the south and up to Burnett Heads in the north. The boulders are the result of erosion of that lava over time. Peter F.
Thanks Peter for clarifying that. I did end up actually going to the summit of the Hummock and it is incredible view. Thank you for confirming what I thought.
👍🏻 great adventure, great stuff
It sure is and it isn't over by a long shot. Come along for the ride.
I am building the same thing for my boat and love this design. The only thing is I can’t find where or what those plastic pipe clamps are called??
Hi, Thanks for liking the design. The part I used was called, "Tube Clamp 25mm White With Nut". These were from Blue Bottle Marine, Fishing and Marine Products. Let me know how you get on. I've been using mine extensively on my cruise north. Cheers
The bird footprints in the sand next to the Dingo paw prints..... Cassowary? 😬
I've never seen a cassowary but from pictures and films I've seen they have very large feet. Not sure which one I'd be more afraid of. 🤪
Dingo prints for sure and definitely not cassowary, that is my back yard, doing a refit in Riverheads with the occasional local trips. Oh and kingfisher bay resort was all in that frame, it was built to blend in with nature and considering the amount of buildings in there they done well
Peter, one of those dingos apparently swum out to a yacht recently and manage to get on board looking for food. Made quiet a mess!
You kidding, how would it even get a onboard unless you left the ladder down or what have you?
@@Dawnraider I think that yacht had a sugar scoop, so your ladder will be ok.
@@bow72au Ah yes, that makes sense. Was trying to envisage a dingo climbing up a ladder like a cat. 😂
Good pace today!
Yes I got a nice stiff southerly behind me pushing me long average speed above five knots which I'm very happy with.
great stuff ☝️❤️🙏 you’re very lucky
Yes I am!
@@Dawnraider you sir 👍🏻 are an absolute legend ☝️📝📈🔭🐥 I would be too chicken to try what you’ve already done ✅
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 haha. I grew up around boats, that makes a difference. Thank you.
Hey Pete, your channel has popped up in my feed as i look for vision of the passage from Southport to Moreton Bay. Very interesting so thanks. I note that you are referring to Kingpinpin, I cannot find this name but it looks like you were at Jumpinpin, near Crusoe Is and Gold Bank, can you confirm? I have learnt a few bits of new info from your commentary. I also go the QLD Gov Notice to Mariners for the latest marine info. They have notices about the dredging and tug operations hopefully this link works: www.publications.qld.gov.au/organization/transport-and-main-roads. Safe travels mate!
👍🏻 good on you buddy, you’re living the life .. 🔭🐨 i was over at that pub a little while ago. the place used to be all sugar cane fields when i was a boy .
Yeah isn't it crazy how things change so much. Having a pretty good time thank you.
@@Dawnraider ☝️🔥🚬🐨 you my friend are an absolute legend. an inspiration… a great guy ✅
I live up the road in Labrador. I still get down to Surfers from time to time, but not so much in the winter.
I guess the nice thing at least in winter is there are fewer people.😁
@@Dawnraider I prefer to get down to Tweed Heads.
@@Dawnraider Kirra beach is great, and not crowded!
Funny we all had a preferences for various reasons. All of those reasons are good if they make you happy.
I used to race Hobie Cat's on Brisbane Water's and crew on my Mates Dad's Beneteau when I was young. I retire soon and going to buy a yacht. Thanks for letting us follow your journey. How far north are your sailing?
Wonderful, yes sometimes you have to wait until those later years before you can actually realise those dreams. I'm going to go as far as the Whitsundays that's for sure whether I go further we'll remain to be seen I'm very much just loosely going where the wheel takes me. Getting into Walmer weather is certainly one of my requirements that's for sure. Good luck with buying your ass and let me know how that goes and thank you for following me.
👍🏻 new subscriber from brisbane 🔭🐥 great stuff thanks for sharing 🙏
I think the best is yet to come so thank you for following and yeah be sure to keep watching feel free to share with anybody who think might be interested as well thank you
You sailed past my place in Newcastle and did not stop for a cuppa
I'm so sorry I didn't realise the couple was on otherwise I would have done so for sure. I will come back that way so yeah keep following me and you'll know when that is.
How bigs your sled 🛷, nice day for it
33 feet. Perfect.
I'm really enjoying your updates as you travel north. I'm looking forward to catching up when you come south. Be prepared for tidal streams up to 9 knots as you enter Port Philip Heads ! It made for wild rides when drift diving. 😊 Stay safe!
Thanks so much for following and yes who knows one day I might go that way and although my focus I must say is keeping warm.
Enjoying your trip Mate Thank you for sharing
Thanks for coming along. Lots to go yet. 😁
Safe travels!
Thank you.
Breathtaking view✌️👌👌
Amazing eh.
Feels like Home, Bro.
Looks it too.
how long is this video?
7:47
3:13 OMG Chatswood
Great view eh
Nice video. well done
Thank you.
I’m guessing that wasn’t you shimmying up the mast 😜🤣🤣🤣
Haha, not so much.😂
Thanks for the info. I bought me one yesterday. Look like inspecting the unit regularly and cleaning it, is important.
Yes, it sure is. Enjoy.
After 5 weeks from installing the unit, I’m happy with it. We had a lot of rain here. I could test it properly. It is accurate . What I like on the unit is, that it is easy to remove from the units bracket to clean it. It slides off easy and easy to install it back on the bracket.
Nice job!!
Thank you.
I've done this approach 1000 times in the simulator it's so nice to see it done irl from a passenger POV
Nice. Do you have FS 2020?
@@Dawnraider Yep
@@Buttachopper it's incredibly real now. Especially with the Australia add-ons and using Google Maps. Happy flying.
@@Dawnraider It is! Especially with tools like simbreif which let me fly the exact arrival down to the smallest details

Great part of the world
It is that.
Thanks for a fascinating tour..I could almost feel that sea breeze!
Glad you got something out of it Gary.
Thanks for sharing your adventure,, I have not been to Quebec city in 4 years and hope to return soon.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lucky you're going back. 😁
@@Dawnraider Yes I will return someday.
@highlight I can't believe this was 8 years ago already.
Great video. Brings back memories of diving this area. We always dived during slack water...it was the time when the levels inside and outside the heads are equal. With permission we could actually dive in the shipping channel. Thanks for a very informative video.
Thanks Gary. So were you diving on wrecks, as there seem to be plenty on this treacherous coast?
@@Dawnraider Hi Peter. Yes, many sailing ships came to grief in this area. We mainly dived the wrecks outside the bay where there were no current issues. Just outside the heads is the ship's graveyard where obsolete vessels were scuttled...always a fascinating dive.
Been many times and barely seen a ferry. You really lucked in on some heavy traffic. Well done.
We sure did. We could see the car carrier on the horizon and the bulk carrier through the mist leaving Port Melbourne, so waited it out.
HI GOOD MORNING
Good morning to you.
