Keppel Bay Marina

A strong wind warning has been issued since last night’s storm. We watched the Bureau of Meteorology's radar with concern as it approached. It was big, with a front stretching from south of Gladstone to our area, and very threatening (see photograph). We were very concerned for our friends Vicki and Anthony (Grace) who telephoned us from GKI because they were unable to get back to the marina before the storm hit. Fortunately it wasn’t the ferocious storm that we expected. It provided a brilliant light show but little else. I was delighted to find a little green guest had taken refuge on board after the storm (see photograph).

We’ve had the good fortune of being in Keppel Bay Marina with Vicki and Anthony (Grace), Lani and Malcolm (Sedona) and Peter and Mary (Tahaa) but it is likely that we will part company here as we will be heading off into the briny again tomorrow to GKI.
