Heading south

Since my last post we're now several nautical miles south of Airlie Beach. We officially left the Whitsundays at Scawfell Island early last week. After Airlie Beach we headed to the Thomas Island, Scawfell Island, Percy Isles (anchoring at Blunt Bay - fantastic spot and the only anchorage we've had to ourselves), Pearl Bay (a couple of beautiful days there) and now Yeppoon (Keppel Bay Marina).

As we're heading into the wind, the early parts of the day have been tough with wind against tide so we're trying to make each leg a manageable distance. Right now, we expect to be back home in early August.

It's been surprising cold - isn't this suppose to be Queensland?? Doonas at night and thermals while we're underway. What the....

Keppel Bay Marina, Rosslyn Bay (near Yeppoon)

Left the lovely Pancake Creek Bay early in dubious weather (ie. strong SE wind warning), to continue making progress towards the Whitsundays. The 20/25 knot winds did not eventuate but things got lively towards the end of the day. Glad to finally get into the marina.

Refueled, rewatered and reprovisioned (this boat won't ever go hungry). Will head off again early to head to Percy Islands.
