Still in Gladstone

With a strong wind warning current until this afternoon we remain in Gladstone Marina.

Current thinking is to leave Wednesday to transit "The Narrows" and then into Keppel Bay.

We will make a decision on where to next once through "The Narrows" - options at this point are three; a) Yellow Patch then Keppel Islands; b) through to Great Keppel; c) up the Fitzroy River to Rockhampton.

A couple of observations on the tropics, namely we are now in danger zone, marine stingers, stonefish, and biggest of all once through "The Narrows" we are definately in "croc country" so keep the toes out of the water until out amongst the islands.
