Funtastic - Great Keppel Island

20th September - 22 September 2012

Stopped over one night at Armstrong Beach, for up the next morning and did a tour of the Sarina Sugar Shed, then drove down to Yeppon. Stopped at the Big 4 caravan park and went sailing on the Saturday on "FUNTASTIC". This catamaran was built by Hans & Dianne, it took them over 4 years to build in their backyard. They have sailed the world in their boat and only take 4-12 guest on board. They supplied morning and afternoon tea. We went snorkelling before morning tea, then cruised over to Great Keppel Island, spent 2 hours on the island. Hans then picked us up from the shore in the zodiac then once back on board we cruised around to another cove and did more snorkelling, afternoon tea, then up went the sails and cruised back to the harbour. Very rough one the way back, with just added to the fun of the day. An awesome day and only$70 per person, we left at 9 and arrived back at 5.30pm.
