We made it to Keppel island last night and we anchored in the most amazing bay on the south side as the wind is northerly now.
What a dilemma, the wind and forecast are perfect for continuing south to Brisbane, the yacht is settling into a good pace and Dave and I are in cruising mode. However I need to head off to Thailand to meet Heather who has booked a break for her 40th birthday. That means we will track off to Keppel bay Marina on the coast and moor her up for a few weeks before the final leg to Brisbane.
The anchorage is stunning and we a sure to return and spend more time here. There is the adage that blue water cruising is 'the art of yacht maintenance in exotic places' and the yacht next to us proves this by spending all morning running a disc cutter and sander inside their cabin. It must be a major job and i make a mental note to leave those jobs for rainy days when possible as today is just wonderful sunshine and uplifting to be on deck watching the world.
