West Bay to Coastal Waters Of Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Good sail over to Yeppoon with a solid easterly wind. Anchored outside the marina wall in Rosslyn Bay for a night and dinghied in to the marina where our friend Carol picked me up to take us to Woolworths ( 10 minute drive from the marina). Normally there are buses that run into town from the marina but services are very limited on the weekend, particularly Sundays (only three buses a day). It was a little rolly in the bay ( residual swell) 1-1.5m swell off the coast. The bay is extremely shallow so anchored just past the entrance channel to the marina - good holding on a sandy/muddy bottom in 4.5m water. Had a walk around late in the day and live music and drinks at the Yacht Club Sunday afternoon. There are heaps of public floating jetties in here and a petrol station just behind the boat ramp which was an easy walk to fill up our jerries.

Keppel Bay Islands National Park to Rosslyn, Australia
Moved around to Leekes when the wind changed to south easterly. Anchored in sand in the mouth of the creek in about 2m of water at low tide. Good protection from the wind and swell at low tide. Got a little rolly at high tide. Was advised the best anchorage is close to the top of the next beach ( Svendsons where the shade hut is) even though it’s shallow and you have to anchor further out, you are more protected from SE or E swells as they arc outside you are they come around the top of the island.

Great Keppel Island Resort to Keppel Bay Islands National Park, Australia
Sailed with friends we met at Pancake Creek, Jon and Carol ( Wizard of the Wind) to Keppel. Had a great tail wind and made good time with the headsails. Anchored in about 3m of water off Long Beach on the bottom of Keppel. Spent a few days here before moving to the north side of the island when the SE’s blew in. Walked across the dunes a couple of times to have lunch at the cafe/restaurant at the resort. The food is pretty average all fried and served in paper boxes but the walk was nice…about two hour round trip!

Cape Capricorn Conservation Park to Great Keppel Island Resort, Australia
Consistent SE tail wind of 12-16knots with 1.2-1.4m swell. Anchored on 7m of water just around the top of Curtis Island. Seems to be good holding.Good protection from wind but was very rolly overnight with swell wrapping around the top of the island.
