Island Head Creek to Great Keppel Island

Another long day’s sail and a bit lumpy into Island Head Creek where we caught up with “Bamboozle” for sundowners.  

Up again just before break of day to try to reach Great Keppel Island in one day.  Plenty of whales still around and pods of dolphins to keep us amused.  With a good downwind run we were able to sail at 7 knots until the wind picked up to 20 knots, then changed from screecher to genoa and the wind kept building.  Eventually we gave up on the main and still ran at 8 knots on the genoa.  When the wind hit 30 knots we even reefed the genoa and still arrived before scheduled.
