Not much to report on this leg. We left Lady Musgrave mid-morning on the ebb tide and made good miles downwind. Reached Keppel Bay around 6am the next morning and tied up at the end of Red Arm, waiting for the Marina office to open.

The staff at Keppel Bay Marina are always friendly and helpful and it is a real pleasure to stop there. We were offered the use of their courtesy car, which helped tremendously with re-provisioning.

We bought a kilo of prawns from the Rosslyn Bay fish market, added a large bag of chips and aeoli from the marina restaurant (this is becoming an institution!) and set off around 2pm for Pearl Bay.

We motor-sailed quite a bit, but all in all it was pretty uneventful and we dropped anchor in Pearl Bay around 9pm.
