Whitsundays

Finally got the photos from the Whitsundays developed. It was a good trip, although it rained quite a bit and we only got a good wind on the last day. Still, we had enough wind to sail everyday and on the last day we got her up to 16 knots.

Our boat, the good ship "Broomstick"


Plot a course


Sails up!


Rain up ahead.


Whitehaven beach


The sand is apparently silica

Too bad it was a rainy day

Also did some snorkeling


I saw fisheys!


and coral!


and more fisheys!



This boat is called "The Card". Our captain challenged their captain to a race.


They were ahead of us for a while


But then we did a perfect jibe and got around them. Broomstick wins it!

It was really a lot of fun hope to do some more sailing when I get the chance.
