We are sailing, we are sailing!

Well, we are now in Airlie beach having driven south from Townsville this morning. We've bumped into Tom and Emma, a really nice english couple we first met underneath a waterfall in a national park 3,000km away way out west so will be having a few beers with them tonight.

I have just booked myself on a 3 day / 2 night sailing cruise around the Whitsunday Islands and will be setting off afloat the Independent Endeavour sailing boat tomorrow with 11 other people I am yet to meet. I have pre-orded a case of cold beer which will be on the boat awaiting my arrival along with snorkelling gear so I can swim aroound the Great Barrier Reef. I can't wait. Stay posted for piccies and stories when I get back in 3 days time. In the meantime, here's a few pictures of the beaches and bays at Bowen, a small beachside town we passed through on the way south from Townsville to Airlie Beach today...

Love

Mike

Unfortunately those b'stard stinging jellyfish roam these waters :(

Queens Beach - Bowen
Sandy sand as far as the eye can see :)
