Days in a marina can quickly be consumed with laundry, re-provisioning and boat maintenance. Our engine hours indicated that an oil service was due and seeing as a significant birthday was to be acknowledged too, a one week check-in was a starting point. In the end the weather cycle turned and we needed a few more days to yet again hide from inclement weather.
One of our jetty rats on board another Jeanneau -SV Isabella, was a quad-copter pilot and photographer and he kindly sent us these shots to share. Truly, if we had to be trapped in a marina, we could hardly complain. Yeppoon and Rosslyn Bay in particular, is lovely.

We enjoyed lots of hospitality at the yacht club and wanting to check if we were still there, Spikey Mikey flew his drone past to check on us.
Screenshots from Marine Traffic demonstrate we were not the only ones with southward travel on our minds
Navigating through the 'parked' vessels off Gladstone, all waiting to take away our coal. Other counties like it a lot. Australians seem to be bucking the trend.
