We had a great motor to Gladstone, we used the incoming tide and averaged 5.5kn. Watched the sun rise, read a book and made a cup of tea.

Once we made it to the channel, I radioed Gladstone VTS for shipping movements. Gladstone is a port for coal & gas and has many ships coming & going. We only had one ship to avoid which was leaving port.

 

Once we were tied up and settled in we went for a bike ride to see some of the sites & enjoyed a drink at the yacht club.
