Day2. 28/7/26
Departed Rollingstone mid morning, the Bruce highway crash site was cleared (both guys survived it) and we arrived at Lucinda and Dungeness around midday. Rigged up but had to wait a few hours for the spring low tide to turn and rise, until the ramps water depth was ok for Teria to launch. (2 ft keel draft)

| Rigged up in the large boat trailer park at Dungeness. |
While waiting for the tide to rise, made a cuppa and read "Cruising the coral coast" good cruising guidebook by Alan Lucas.
 |
| Dungeness ramp at spring low tide, mud and mangroves. |
 |
| Spring low, my trailer wheels may have run off the ramps deep dropoff. |
 |
| Dungeness harbour (Enterprise channel), the small public pontoon is on the left (can pickup and dropoff passengers, 15 mins tie up time) Further down are private fishing resorts pontoon docks. |
After launching motored upstream and found a deep spot to anchor overnight. It's one of the best sheltered small yacht anchorages on the coast, its always dead flat calm, except for a few small runabout wakes which were no problem, Teria's extra water bottle ballast in the keel sump helps.
