Leaving the fuel dock at Yepoon. We anchored for around 3 hrs early this morning off Great Keppel Island to wait for the fuel dock in Roslyn Bay to open. Unfortunately some Northerlies are predicted from this evening through to Saturday which will slow our progress from here. Depending on the course we are able to steer its likely we will again be out of internet range so will update our position via the Sat phone again for the next day or so. All is well
