Sunday 11 July. We did sail to Rosslyn Bay Marina (Yeppoon) on Saturday. It was a bit blowy with up to 19 knots but certainly not the 30 predicted offshore – they did say it would be quieter inshore and so we steamed into the Marina about midday. Glad we left when we did, Pacific Creek while an excellent anchorage in midge (sandfly) heaven and they will come 100kms to bite Chris. Went shopping yesterday in the marina’s courtesy car – great service thanks guys. It is a nice marina and we had dinner at the marina restaurant last night with Tom and Nancy, with a few quiet ones before at the Capricornia Yacht Club – a little one room building with a bar and a veranda. One bloke in there in bare feet so pretty salubrious really. We ended up with 8 yachties chatting about boats there before tea – all good fun. Today we are going for a drive to see the hinterland for a couple of hours with Tom and Nancy, that should be fun. Maybe tomorrow we will head for Great Keppel Island for a couple of days before heading north again.
