LIFE ON ANCHOR | Returning to the Islands S1CH.28

Returning to life on anchor, sailing back out to the tropical islands. You can help support this small production here on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/sailingnakama After a week in the marina restocking Nakama's cupboards with food, installing an internet booster, getting a new dinghy and doing mountain loads of washing we are finally heading back out to live on anchor at the tropical islands that lay off the Australian coast, in particular, Great Keppel Island. We wake to a glass off and head around to the south side of the island and jump into the dinghy to go for a snorkel. Although we have just had the outboard serviced we break down in strong currents and we madly row our way back to Nakama, we realise we have no water and we are making extremely bad progress, we look around to see that we are basically the only boat around. Once we finally make it back to the boat we realise we should really be prepared for that to happen again and invest in a handheld VHF radio. Anyway, we fix the outboard and head back out for a snorkel, Slim spears a fish and we decide to head around to the North side of the island to escape a southerly that's on its way. When we think the day couldn't get any more chaotic we run aground and really wedge Nakama's keel into a sandbank, the biggest kiss of the bottom we have had. As we bang and crash towards the anchorage we finish off our slightly chaotic and slightly relaxing day off by cooking dinner on the fire.
