Today our GPS tracker decided to malfunction by converting from a tracker to an SOS Epirb beacon. It did this without any human intervention and within an hour of the start of our day the Rockhamption RACQ rescue helicopter was hovering over two waving and oblivious sea kayakers. Yes somewhat embarrassed, and very annoyed, that my “waterproof” tracker does not appear to be so!. The guys landed on the northern tip of Curtis island, we met them there, they were great discussed our trip – we have turned off the device and will try and replace it tomorrow in Rockhampton. We made exceptional progress today by island hopping to Emu Park, just below Yeppoon. Rest day tomorrow.DT
