30 Knot Roller Coaster Ride, Plastered in Coal Dust! & Ghost Ships Of Great Keple Island

Episode 266 The contrast of the Queensland coast is on full display in this episode! We start our stay in Gladstone anchored near a massive coal power station, only to wake up the next morning with the boat completely blanketed in black coal dust. It was a mess, but the journey had to continue. After a tricky search for a new anchorage around the industrial harbor, we eventually made tracks for the exit and set our sights on Great Keppel Island (Woppa). The passage turned into a wild ride with 30 knots of wind and big following seas—true blue water sailing at its most exciting! Once safely anchored in the turquoise waters of Great Keppel, we head ashore to explore: Wildlife Encounters: Meeting some very bold (and hungry!) local birds at the cruiser camp. The Hike: A rugged trek over the island's ridges to reach the lighthouse. Maritime Mystery: The haunting story of a local ghost ship. The Descent: A afterward run back down the trails to get home to the boat.
