Sailing from Yeppoon to Mackay

Our friends Bruce and Annie are members in a syndicated Seawind 1160 called 'Antidote'. They kindly gave me the opportunity to sail with them from Yeppoon to Mackay on their way up to the Whitsundays. It is my favourite part of the Australian East Coast, so I jumped at the chance. Unfortunately George was unable to join me as she was back at work.

The first leg was from Keppel Bay marina up to Pearl Bay and Island Head Creek.

Next on to the Duke Islands (Hunter Island and Bamborough Island), the Percy Islands (South Island and Middle Island) and then Curlew Island.
