Great Keppel Island - Stunning with good weather

With forecast of good weather we left Rosslyn Bay and came to anchor in Svendsen's Beach in Great Keppel Island. What a fantastic place. I think everybody around the area had the same idea as there must have been around 20 other boats by the end of the day. But the anchorage is very wide and the beaches are fantastic. The big question mark was TV reception and luckily there is, so no problem for Oscar to watch the world cup and we can enjoy beach life all the same for as long as this nice weather lasts.

Stunning beaches at GKI

A long walk along the beach
One afternoon a 'frog race' was organized and everybody on the boats at anchor gathered at the beach. It was great fun and a good opportunity to catch up. We had previously been in a frog race in Bundaberg and were now expecting to see the little live frogs jumping all over the place. With great expectation everybody waits for the opening of the box that contains the frogs, to everybody's surprise here come the frogs and they are paper frogs!:

We all had a turn at driving the frogs while bets added to the fun.
A fire was also lit to keep mosquitoes away, not that there were any mosquitoes around

And a perfect sunset
