Great walk

Bruce and I had a great walk yesterday. What started out as a little walk, as Bruce is nursing a sore foot from an old injury, turned into a 5 hour walk!!! Started from Leeks beach walked u to the homestead and then the track to the lighthouse, and back down towards Wrecks Bay. Luckly we had some good wind to keep us cool, as it was a pretty hot day. Left at 11 and returned at 4. We also had an explore of the creek here. One day we will go in and stand Tropical Soul up in there. Saw some wild goats on the island, and jellyfish in the creek. Also had my first experience of getting the dingy from the beach through breaking waves. We waited for the right time except I didn't make it into the dingy, I lost my footing and ended up under water, so we had to hold the boat through some breakers until the next set came through. Yikes was quite a learning curve.

We did get a couple of sundowns that it wasn’t raining, so some of the people in the anchorage gathered on the beach. Bruce & I had a little explore on one of the beaches, and are hoping to have a bit of a longer explore on a walk through the bush. We are going to be in this area for the next month or two, so if not this time definitely next time we are here.

Sitting out another South Easter again

We moved on from Middle Percy to Port Clinton. Spent one night there, as we need to move while we have a weather window. Also the area is being closed in a few days for military exercises. From port Clinton to Great Keppel Island we had the best sail of the whole trip. Flew the spinnaker all day and made 7 to 8 knots. We are still at Great Keppel Island waiting for a break from the present SE. It's been blowing since Friday 20 to 25 knots with rain squalls, and some thunder. next stop is Keppel Bay marina for a week or so.

More from Middle Percy

We took some walks on the Island and one was up to the homestead. Here are some photos from the Island. The Island has a wild goat population, and there were quite a few babies. Suset from the boat on Melbourne Cup Day. We're leaving out of Middle Percy @ 3:00 a.m.

Playing in Middle Percy

We stayed a week in the lagoon. Exploring the creek, the land, & the beach. We had a great time with our friends from Euphoria & Hurtle Turtle. We had a small weather window coming, so on Tuesday Melbourne Cup day we moved out of the lagoon. Then anchored outside, and had a Melbourne day lunch at the A frame on the beach.  By the way I was a winner picking 2nd & 3rd horse! That's a photo of Tropical soul leaving the lagoon.

Sitting out another South Easter

After leaving the Whitsundays we sailed from Shaw Island to Scawfell Island using the weather window we were given we knew we had to make tracks. Leaving Scawfell around 3 a.m to make our way to Middle Percy Island. There is a SE on it's way. We met up with Euphoria & Hurtle Turtle and together we went into the lagoon.

Back in range

Just a quick post to let you all know we are back in communication range. I will post some more tomorrow. Going to sleep now. Goodnight/
