Whitsundays Continued


Slept well that is until the early morning wake up call of the anchor chain being noisy pulled up. It seemed to go on for hours so I climbed the ladder up to the deck to see what was going on and watched the sunrise as we began sailing.



Today was our diving day off Hook island. It wasn't spectacular diving, the visibility being a bit low and, in my opinion the temperature too! But the coral was beautiful and we saw a nice turtle. To warm up we jumped in the hot tub on the stern which felt strange once the boat was moving again!

Our 3rd day had the best weather. In the morning they got the Kayaks out and we happily paddled around the clear shallow waters of a bay spotting Stingrays and Turtles. As we sped back to Airlie beach there were Humpback whales on the horizon and a group of dolphins swam with us. Sunburnt and flushed from the wind no-one really wanted to leave our floating home, I asked if they'd take me down to Hervey bay but no, it was back on the bus!
