tutuwahineLV Posted December 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Just a quick question, can anyone tell me how long is the sail time from Portside Wharf, down the river to the open ocean?? I assume it's not nearly as long as the time from New Orleans to the Gulf, .... Thanks in advance for your expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted December 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2016 My guess would be about 60 - 75 minutes; longer if the 180 turn is required. Quite an enjoyable sailaway. Firstly from all the apartments at the port, then under the bridge, and even better if there is a ship docked at the grain terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted December 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Yes, it's a good hour or more to the mouth of the river and that only takes you into Moreton Bay. The ships then have to cruise north for an hour or two, between the mainland and Moreton Island, before they reach the Coral Sea.

tutuwahineLV Posted December 30, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thank you for your replies. That time is much better than the 7-8 hour ride down the mississippi from New Orleans. this trip is so close, I'm very excited to be finally getting to visit Australia!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
