Green Island on our Sailboat: A Day Exploring Moreton Bay's Dugong Sanctuary by Boat Episode 57
Come with us on our sailing journey as we navigate our sailboat through the serene waters of Moreton Bay to the picturesque Green Island, situated within a protected dugong sanctuary. In this episode, we chronicle a day on our sailboat, anchoring near the island's pristine shores, and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of this hidden gem. Our adventure doesn't stop at anchoring; we launch our tender to explore the island's coastline up close. Whether it's fishing from the tender, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or simply enjoying a leisurely cruise, the tender adds a layer of freedom and excitement to our sailing lifestyle. As we navigate this ecologically significant habitat, we remain vigilant for sightings of the gentle and shy dugongs that call Moreton Bay home. This marine park is home to about 600-800 of these gentle sea creatures. Whether you're an experienced sailor, a sailboat owner, or a novice eager to delve into the sailing world, our voyage offers practical insights into sailing within Moreton Bay. Learn essential sailing techniques, anchoring strategies, and gain a deeper understanding of the liveaboard lifestyle. Join us as we explore Green Island, and unwind on our Beneteau Oceanis 430.
