Beware Entering Brisbane Water At Night

Recommended Posts

Beware all Raiders - coming into Brisbane Waters last weekend after dark is a nightmare and I'm a local. Negotiating the channel between sand bars off Ettalong - see map http://www.maritime.nsw.gov.au/docs/brisbane_front.pdf

This channel is quite narrow and markers are hard to see. To cap it off one pole marker and at least one bouy marker have NO LIGHTS on them making them VERY hard to pick out at night. Even going slow and off the plane reaction time can be very short as you only see them when very close - scary!!!!

The lateral markers you are talking about are notorious for going missing. Last time I went out at dawn I saw one flopping away on the sand bar.
