Boating and snorkelling adventures
Well today we headed out on a catamaran charter to Great Keppell Island. It saw an early start with the boat leaving at 8.30 ( poor Fiona had to be up early!!!)

Great Kepple
Great day on the boat today. I am sure the boys will tell the tale but thought some pics might be nice.
This place look alright…
