There won’t be much of a tide change over the day, but we’ll poke around the edges of the bay and May take a look at Fraser Island from the water. Bring a lunch and, of course, dress for immersion. More info will be coming closer to the day! There is a $10 launch fee at Spirit Bay

If it’s too windy down south, we’ll head up to the Brentwood Bay area.
