So this is the boat we hired for one week to sail around the Whitsunday Islands. It was 11 metres long and could accommodate eight people (at a push) but just had our big bags instead. It was called Divocean and after a four hour briefing, we were on our way! Paul got in there as Skipper and I was First Mate.
The first two nights were a bit noisy so we didn't get much sleep. We kept getting up to check that we hadn't drifted off of our anchor. After this, the next five nights were fine. Three of them were spent at two different Island marinas and the others were spent out at sea anchored up.
We sailed around approximately ten islands in the week and saw some beautiful sights. This is Tongue Point which overlooks Whitehaven Beach. The beach is five miles long, white sand, blue sea and voted one of the best beaches in the world. Lovely!
We saw fish, turtles and small sharks.
