Day 44: Great Keppel Island

Checked crab trap early - nothing.

Started the morning with a short walk along the beach with Caroline. Walter stayed on Sea Change trying to arrange remedies for a couple of his own problems; he has a leaking fuel tank, and his auto-pilot gearbox has barfed. They will be putting their boat into Roslyn Bay Marina in a few days so, hopefully, they can sort it out then.

Leekes Beach.

Went to the pub for lunch. Normally we would anchor the boat nearby but there was a very low tide and the bay is already shallow, so we went in the dink. Had a job dragging the dinghies out to deeper water to run the engines.

Mooring field at Leekes Beach.

Back on the boat, I tidied up the way we hang the dinghy on the targa bar. Bit more convenient now.

Dinghy passage-ready.
