On the back of the boat
Come on when are we goingHi guys.
We left Westward Ho and went to Airlie Beach to go sailing in the Whitsundays. There we caught up with Jessie, Jan and her new boyfriend Captin Kev and some of her sailing mates. The first night we got on a Whitsundays Escape yacht and slept in the marina. The name of our yacht was Atoll but we renamed it The Black Smoke. We set off the next morning, Mum, Jess, Kass and I almost peed our pants because the boat tilted to one side almost in the water. (Dad got sea sick) We moored at Cid Bay for the night.
Next day we sailed to Hamilton Island to drop Jessie off and that night we anchored at Nara Inlet. There we went on a beautiful walk and saw Aboriginal paintings and a really nice veiw of Nara Inlet. There are loads of whales we saw heaps leaping right up out of the water. Stone Haven bay is where we went next. Mum, Kass, Dave, Nick and I were in the dingy and saw a whale right up close (it went right passed us) and we saw a huge blue fish and a sting ray. The next day we
headed to One Foot Island for lunch. There we snorkled and paddled in a kayak. I saw two fish nand lots of coral. And stayed at Butterfly Bay. That night we saw whales jumping out of the water and landing on their back just as the sun was setting so it looked very pretty.
We went on a hike up the mountains on Hook Island, Kass and I got attacked by Green Ants (It hurt) We freaked out. We went back to Airlie Beach the next day to stock up on supplies ( Beer wine FOOD!) We left with our supplies and stayed at Happy Bay. We went on a walk there and stayed on the beach for a picnic. While mum was chating away with her friends Kass and I were playing on the paddle board it was fun because when a wave came we almost tipped.
Now we are visiting Ben Fletcher and staying at his house in Townsville. Yesterday we went to the Reef Aquariam and saw heaps of coral, fish and sharks. Did you know another name for a Leopard Shark is Zebra Shark. Tomorrow we are heading to Mission Beach.
Your up to date!
