The weekend just gone was absolutely horrible.

I had to endure the pain of boarding an 90 foot sail boat on friday morning (day off school ;D ;D). perfect weather, just not for sailing. Absolutely no wind AT ALL. Left gladstone harbour around 8:30 and headed out to the channel then turned around and headed to facing island for a swim, which turned into a game of stuck in the mud, litterally #:o.
We drove up and through the narrows :o On the top of the tide as that was the only time we would have enough water. At one stage the mangroves were 2 metres away on each side :-/

Anchored just north for the night and next morning headed to keppel with once again no wind. Swam at keppel and on the way back there are mackerel and tuna going crazy and me without a fishing rod :'(. Just to top it all off got stuck at the entrance to rosslyn bay harbour on low tide so had to wait at the entrance till the tide rose and we could get through.

Overall not a bad way to spend a birthday.
no photos yet but should be some shortly
