While Great Keppel Island is no longer on the
must see list for regular tourists it's definitely a favourite stop-off for the cruising fraternity. Lots of lovely bays and clear water are on offer to accommodate most wind directions although the swell sneaks in, no mater where or what wind. Not withstanding, most of the bays can accommodate a large number of vessels and the possibility of paddling on kayaks, canoes and paddle boards plus the several lovely walking trails on shore, provide ample amusement during the day. The beaches are suitable too for sundowner assemblies around bonfires in the evening. Golden!
Getting ashore was not always elegant. Depending on the state of the tide as well as presence of swell, arrivals could best be described as 'interesting'. Scores were sometimes kept for proficiency. Cruisers are easily amused.
We had passengers and we arrived sideways and got a soaking.
Our score? What goes on tour, stays on tour!

Often scathing!
Wheels were occasionally helpful to bridge the gap to the waterline.
A fine way to send off the day
