Mid Keppel Shuffle 31 Au 2026

Anthony Anthony

Motor against wind and tide from anchored off Svensons beach to move south around west side of Great Keppel Is to anchor Fisherman’s beach. Wind has been consistent 15 gusting to 20kts SE which allowed for two days of or 2.5 hrs in total of wing foil boarding. First flight experienced, up on foil followed shortly thereafter by crashing back down into the water when board becomes quite squirrelly under foot. Whilst climbing/rolling back into the dinghy not unlike an untrained overweight seal at the end of the session, I caught he edge of my impact vest on edge of middle seat ripping the pvc seat apart along its entire cornered length which in turn has now compromised the dinghy structural stability, bugger! New job added to work list, repair or make new dinghy seats. Ahhh boating, yep, ya gotta love it.
