The forecast was for SE winds 10 – 15 knts but as usual the weather bureau was wrong, we only had winds of 5 – 10 knts. I think we need to be out much wider to get the stronger winds.

Leaving Cape Cap at 7:30 we headed for the marina at Rosslyn Bay, Yeppoon as most importantly John had run out of red wine. We also wanted to top up on supplies and water.

The entrance to the marina must have been dredged since we were here last time as we went in at half tide and had 2.7 of water under the keel. We tied up in white 31 the furthermost pontoon on the marina. Quite a hike to get to the facilities, office and restaurant.

After paying for our berth at $102 per night which I thought was quite reasonable for Queensland.( I expect much higher fees as we get further north) we headed straight for the Waterline café and ordered prawn and scallop dumplings for lunch.

The washing was doing its dance in the laundry machines, so we dawdled on lunch until it was finished, then it was back to Ovive to wash the salt off the boat and Mulligan Geo work.

We had an excellent meal back at Waterline  in the evening of tender fillet steak cooked by a very proficient Japanese chef.
