The last post...☹️☹️☹️
They say all good things come to an end, and after 105 days of our first venture north on Tropicali, we are now back in Tin Can Bay wondering where the last few months have gone and how the trip has affected us.

Home waters again !
Over the last two days, we have milked the continuing run of northerlies from Bundaberg to our home port of Tin Can Bay. We have been incredibly lucky to have ridden this northerly flow from the Whitsundays all the way home over a two week run.

1770 to Bundaberg
Just love 1770, it's on the must do again list. Yes, it's shallow, but it is a pretty place to sit in Round Hill Creek, especially at night. No wonder Captain Cook took the Endeavour in there. It must have been a LOT deeper in 1770!

Day 100 - Town of 1770
Hard to believe, but it is 100 days since we left Poona, and sadly, we are rapidly heading back home, with a stop in Bundaberg likely for the next two days.

Back through the Narrows again
It seems like only 2 weeks ago we were travelling north through the Narrows, but as we are now at day 98 of the trip, I guess it was quite some time ago.

Back to sea again
After having Tropicali at Rosslyn Bay Harbour for 9 days, 4 of which were while we travelled to Sydney to farewell son Chris off to the UK, and 2 more waiting for the soggy weather to clear, we made a break today for Great Keppel.
Back to sea again
For the first time, we are anchored at Fishermans Beach on the south western side where the old resort is. After finding a good spot to drop anchor among the 24 boats, we looked up to see that the boat immediately ahead of us is "Charm" owned by Ken and Bev Hollingworth from Tin Can Bay. Ken and Bev are also making for home after having travelled much further north than us.
Dinghy down after last using it at Airlie Beach, we motored ashore to explore the remaining operable bits of the resort, pub, shop and private rental houses that keep the tourists coming out to the island. A beer at the pub, we check out the brekky menu for tomorrow and decide we might go ashore for the Eggs Benedict!
With the sun out this afternoon, the renowned beautiful clear aqua waters of Keppel Bay make swimming look so desirable. It's on the list for tomorrow if the sun's out.
One more day here and we will make our way further south on Friday.
