Scarborough to Tangalooma Tomorrow

[Emmastevens]

Hello 

My partner and I have a small experience in boating.

I  have a Freedom Getaway 5 m Runabout W/75HP Honda 4 Stroke

We went approximately 10 times from Cleveland or Manly around Peel Russell or Green Island always under 15 knots wind. 

We would like to go until Tangalooma from Scarborough  tomorrow early morning and come back before 2 pm . We would like to do a snorkelling around the wreck. 

The conditions looks ok on Bom and I have all safety gear, but I would like to know your personal opinion  

I don t want to take any risks but I would like to go little bit more far than 10 min navigation and I would like to have a good day.

Thank you for your advice. 

Cheers

take plenty of fuel, take your time and always keep an eye on the weather as it can change fast. You should have no issue at all in that boat! enjoy the day! Throw up some pictures in a report when you get back

nice looking boat by the way

In my opinion and I have a 5.5m centre console it's will be fine.  Just make sure you understand the "wind-against-tide" theroy.

 

Tomorrow the tide will be dropping in the morning and you'll have a slight easterly wind, which means as you head out to Moreton there might be a bit of chop until you get closer to the main beacons.

 

You'll be fine in the arvo coming back

Thank you guys for your advice do you have any idea about the travel time?  1 hour ?

About an hour or so. Depends how fast your boat goes and how much chop there is.

It's about 30klm to Tangas, so if you cruise at 35-40 klms.......

Good to hear it all went well for you. The water colour and sands make a nice scene.

Nice one @Emmastevens - looks like you nailed it weather wise. We were hoping to go sometime over this long weekend but unfortunately probably won't make it as we've got a bit too much on around the house, grrrr!!!!
