Well the sailing trip around the Whitsundays was fantastic!!! : ) We went snorkelling with the biggest and most colourful fish ive ever seen before in my life and got some fantastic photos! (the stinger suits we had to wear were just so damn sexy!!) ha ha!!! - I was a little bit dubious about getting into the water as i saw a huge fin (im guessing shark) near manta ray bay on one of the islands the night before...but i was fine in the end! The crew were great on board.....that be Andy and Jack and we had a few drinks and dinner with them and our 'sleeping buddies' afterwards! I must admit ive never wanted a shower so much (3 days on board without make up and straighteners...hence i look a bloody state in ... read more
