Passing Gladstone & going through The Narrows QLD

Another wobbly day at sea making our way to Great Keppel Island. Interesting to go past Gladstone and see the numerous vessels, ports and refineries along the way. Another first was going through The Narrows, luckily high tide was 7am which was a perfect time for us. Arrived at Great Keppel Island just in time for lunch.

The boat came out with a blue undersides and went back in with a new charcoal grey anti-foul.  All in all, I think John was pretty happy with the way...
