Boy have we been lucky on the whole with the weather since April this year, the maximum we have had to batten down was 4 days at North Goulburn Island and Cooktown……..well Huey is making up for all of that. With a sniff of home, we could make it in ten [favorable weather conditions] days; BUT no way now.
Yesterday we waved good-bye to Flynn and Kai after their 12 enjoyable, rain every day, many fish hits but few landing days with us aboard Kiella .Lucky for us we had booked a berth at Keppel Bay, at Rosslyn Bay near Yeppoon; as with the conditions on the water the marina is full. Looking at the BOM site and reading all the updates issued frequently I think we could be here for over a week or more. In the past 24 hours we have had over 95.6 mls of rain and the wind is getting up to 30kts with some gusts, this data I have found through some great sites on the web.
The Marina offers great service, including free use of their car for 2 hours to be able to stock up supplies with. We have booked it today, as we are going to check out Shearwater who is anchored in the creek still, but we believe that some work has been done to her. Jindinook now renamed, is also in the Marina, so if it stops raining we will take photos as well. Is this an omen that Kiella is to stay here…….well with the present conditions and time running out maybe until after Xmas.
