After a rocky night at Great Keppel Island we headed to Rosslyn Bay to re-fuel, the south easterly was forecast to get stronger so we decided to stay a night at the marina: special treat. We took this opportunity to organised a mechanic to check over our engine as it hadn't been starting first time. Lucky for us when the mechanic came to look at it he couldn't get it started and found the starter motor had broken - now replaced phew!
Archie couldn't believe his eyes when he spotted a turtle feeding at the side of the pontoon. We had to carry him back to the boat or he would of been in the marina beside the turtle.
This is the point we decided its time to head home. We've had a great experience and now feel ready to resume life on land. Our adventure started 6 months ago and to us it feels like we've been away for ages. Its not over by any means it will take us 6 weeks plus to sail back to Sydney and hope to stop off at Lady Musgrave Island where the snorkeling is meant to be amazing. Looks like we may be at the marina for several more days though as the southerlies have set in for the moment :(
