Welcome back to our channel, this episode is about visiting Hummocky Island for an over nighter. On our way to Great Keppel Island, we do some bottom drops with the fishing rods on a near by shoal.

Hummocky Island What a ripper of a spot, to do an over nighter and to stretch your legs after a long passage. It was 20nm trip to north of Great Keppel Island. ?? Great Keppel Island This is one of my 5 favourite islands to visit in Queensland. We have spent time here, in the past and it's so close to Rosslyn Bay, Yeppoon. ? BEACHING at Leeke's Beach / Creek: epic spot out the front of the creek and not many sandflys we noticed in May. We did go do some recon up the creek, as fellow yachties mention it's a great place to dry out. But we were getting bitten heaps. It wasn't very windy and very protected where we beaches our boat. ???? WALKING to Fisherman's Bay from Leeke's Beach is 2.5km freak and was just over an hours walk, along an old 4WD track. Mostly gravel, with a 2-3 steep hills to walk. Highly recommend it, so much beauty and amazing views overlooking the bays and mainland. ? SVENDSENDS BEACH - MAKESHIFT YACHT CLUB: Thks place was a treat to have sundowners at, with a firepit, chairs, table, gazebo, camp oven, woks, frying pans etc?? it was such an awesome spot to enjoy a cook up and have a chat to fellow yachties. Over the years the yachties have created this meeting place, where you can enjoy a cook up. Extra bonus is, there is a few coconut trees near by, don't forget to bring some ice & coconut rum ? ?
