Light wind all night, we doused all canvas and motored.

Lots of traffic starting at 2300, requiring multiple course changes.

We're abreast of Cape Moreton now and only have fishing boats around
us as the sun is coming up. Next challenge is navigating all of the
shoals as we move into Moreton Bay. Then we will be in the major
shipping channel which will undoubtedly be very busy. Will send an
update tonight after final arrival.

That is all.
