Monday, 20 October to Saturday, 25 October 2014
With the wind predicted to ease we headed out on Monday with 2 other yachts into a 20 knot SE and a very confused sea. We started with a reef in the main that we shook out after lunch (although with the confused seas I wasn't taking any chances and eating too much). The wind eventually went to the east and made for a more comfortable and faster sail into Keppel Bay Marina. The wind was back up again Tuesday so we stayed 3 nights in the marina before heading across to North Keppel for 2 nights. Most of the other yachts who left on Thursday headed south while we decided to wait a few more days for the predicted northerlies.

The anchorage in Considine Bay, North Keppel was good - clear water, nice beaches and lots of well signed walking tracks. We walked across to Mazie Bay and up to the lookout over Great Keppel.

With a good forecast for the next week, we are now at Great Keppel Island. Tomorrow we are planning to head to North West Island and then through the Bunker Group, so no internet for a while.
