Passage Homeward Yepoon to Pancake Creek

Yeppoon to Pancake Creek Bustard Head Light House

Leaving Yeppoon we made our way to Pancake creek a long day sail and anchoring at night is difficult but we have to make these long passages to get back to the coast by Saturday 29th August.

In hindsight we both agree that we undertook to many nautical miles in such a short space of time not allowing for the wind and conditions that were not in our favour.  Operational breakdowns of the yacht also required any lay days in port to be attended to. 

This area of the coast is beautiful and I hope to explore it at our leisure on our next voyage.  This area is where captain Cook first explored  with small shallow entry coves of Pancake Creek and 1770.

Bustard head light house is so name because the crew of Captain Cooks ship shoot and ate Bustard birds that inhabit these headlands.
