We had light to moderate winds the first day followed by 30+ knot winds the second day. It was a pretty good sail, although all that wind on day 2 made it a bit wearing. The occasional large wave would give Sabbatical III a good toss, making the boat roll deeply and sending anything even remotely loose knocking against whatever was next to it. During the night, whoever was off watch was protected by 6 or 8 pillows placed against the lee board of the sleeping berth. There was quite a bit of freighter traffic coming into Brisbane and Gladstone\/Rockhampton, but we saw them all on our AIS display and they never came too close.M. <\/p>\n<p>Sent from my iPad<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posted via email<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/sabbatical3blog.posterous.com\/safe-arrival-at-great-keppel-island\">sabbatical3blog&#8217;s posterous<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We arrived an hour ago at Great Keppel Island after a 51 hour sail from Scarborough.
