Rhonda and her partner navigate the Triteia, a sailboat with a 12-meter mast, through the shoals of Moreton Bay, Queensland, while timing their movements with the tides. After departing Tiplers at South Stradbroke Island, they motor past power lines with 20 meters of clearance and stop at Empire Marina for fuel and water.2:16 The crew attempts to anchor in the remote Browns Bay, but dense mangroves and shallow mud flats prevent them from going ashore.6:52 They relocate to Peel Island, where they find the anchorage exposed to wind despite the protection from surrounding shoals.7:39 The crew later visits Horseshoe Bay at Peel Island to snorkel the wreck of a 1884 dredging vessel, which was scuttled in 1926 to serve as a breakwater.9:36 They conclude the passage with a 27-nautical-mile transit to the Brisbane River.13:13 Navigating the Queensland coast requires strict adherence to tidal windows to avoid grounding in shallow, shoal-heavy channels.
