We departed Mooloolaba Marina at 6.45am on Sunday March 24, 2019 with a degree of trepidation as the forecast of a 10knot north-westerly did not bode well. We soon encountered good numbers of birds close inshore, however. Among them were substantial flocks of Common Terns, evidently attracted to schools of bait fish.
