Episode 10 More GKI and a then Over to Yeppoon

A bit more exploring around Great Keppel Island, before we head to the marina for a couple of weeks.
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

Hi, just come across your channel are used to live in Yeppoon in 1967. When the tide goes out it goes out. I had some fantastic memories of living there as a kid

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks for watching. Yeppoon is a far bigger town now than when I first visited 40 years ago.
GKI is a great spot.

[@anto11b]

Thanks for watching.

What a beautiful way to wake up on a Sunday morning here in the UK. Your videos always give me a push to get out of the motorhome and into the boatshed and complete my solar powered catamaran. I don't know if I'll ever make it all the way down under, but you have some very beautiful, secluded islands down there. 10/10!

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Great to here from you Dudes in the UK. It is a long way away, but Capt. Cook made it.
Thanks for watching.

Norm “May the adventure continue” nice work on the tank repair - the solder should hold tight, hopefully you managed a good bond - better than using epoxy I think - Cheers

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks David. It was only a pin hole, but fixed now I think.

[@richardmason902]

Thanks for such a great look at Keppel Island over numerous videos Norm.
Went there years ago and have a strong desire to return.
Cheers mate.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yep. It's a great spot Richard. We are thinking of spending summer there.

[@richardmason902]

@@MotorSailingforOldDudes I need to get my boat up to scratch and head around this way .

[@SuperRajack]

Great video

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks for watching Dude

I'd keep an eye on the tank Norm, as I've found in the past, any plastic welding I've done doesn't seem to last. I'm not sure why, I think it's probably to do with the material bonding to the surface of the material rather than becoming one with the substrate. Maybe I'm a just a crap plastic welder!

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yeah mate. I'll keep an eye on them. No confidence, although I think the internal welds were good. Only the top had pin holes.

[@brize53]

Bugger about the tank it's just the way of the world today unfortunately

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yep. But got it fixed. Just have to do things yourself.

[@peterlee440]

Really enjoyed the vid Norm. Another note, my feed is not coming up with your vids. I’m pretty religious on them . Is it just me?

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

You seem to be the only one Peter. Don't know what to advise??
