Done & dusted

We've just arrived into Keppel Bay after a rollicking ride across 40km from Hummocky Island.
We hung back until 11am to try to avoid the monster current that clobbered us yesterday, & struck out for Emu Park with about 2 hours of the ebb remaining. 
The wind had come up to 20kn & the sea was freshly developed & gave us one hell of a ride. We absolutely smoked it past Wedge Island at an average speed over 10kmh, then rode what can only be described as surf waves from there all the way into Keppel Sands, which we mistook for Emu Park. We realised when we landed that the Spot Tracker had an error message on it so apologies to everyone who's been following the dots!
Photos & more details to follow, we're going to put our feet up tonight & then head back to Sydney tomorrow.
Thanks so much to everyone who has sent messages of goodwill & support through the trip, they were most appreciated.
Congrats also to our mate Stuart Trueman who has just finished his circumnavigation of Australia, amazing.
Mark, Rob & Chris.
