WHITSUNDAY SATURDAY

 

What a fabulous day. As the pictures show, the weather is brilliant, so brilliant in fact that the yacht race was delayed to give the wind the opportunity to strengthen a little.




Both Steve and Trevor spent a lot of time on the phone yesterday. Trevor was hard at work when this photo was taken.







We spent the night on a mooring at happy bay on Long Island and went ashore to check out the resort after a leisurely breakfast.






We then headed over to the southern end of Whitsunday Island to watch the start of the yacht race and found ourselves in the thick of it.



Chaos reigned supreme but we only saw one collision.








The little guys don’t stand much chance when the big boys are coming through.






We anchored at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach for lunch and, after a pleasant snooze, we are now heading for Nara Inlet for the night. The sailing finishes today so tomorrow, we will need to find something else to entertain us. I wonder what that will be. It’s a tough life.
