Dawn patrol to Green Island

Although the forecast was for wind up to 20kts, the launch seemed perfect for a paddle across to Green Island.



The beach with a mix of sand and broken coral could be miles from civilisation ... except that you can still see BrisVegas 5.5km to the west.



Perhaps this is why they call it Green Island?



The calm before the storm? ... not quite, just smooth paddling out of the wind before the 6.5km run home when the wind did get up to around 20kts.
