We are nicely tucked up in Keppel Marina in Yeppoon. I am afraid I am a weather coward as on hearing winds of 30 knots plus were expected, I wanted to be in a marina... and even here under the lee of a headland the wind is gusting over 35 knots! Last night we dropped anchor off Hummocky Island and with all the rocking and rolling had little sleep, especially me as as with each wind gust I sat bolt upright waiting for the end of the world! The morning dawned grey and drizzly and over the 22 nautical miles to Yeppoon, the wind was 25-30 knots from behind. Despite having only the genoa up we were doing 6-7 knots and got in ahead of really ugly wind. The forecasts for the next few days are not great, so we will stay here and replenish food and all else. Off for happy hour at the local yacht club.
