Whitsunday sailing!

We sighted turtles and dolphins on our way to a small secluded beach with sand whiter than snow. A spot of beach tennis and then off again to a reef where we snorkelled wearing stinger suits due to the abundance of killer jellyfish! Sounds scarey but it wasnt that bad! Another night on board telling storys and bad jokes, accompanied by the odd deep meaningful conversation! (Dozing under another bright full moon).
Day 3 took us to a bush walk to some aboriginal cave paintings 1000s of years old and some great pic oppurtunitys. Also sighted our first sharks in the shallow water - only juvenilles though but great to see them hunting.
We returned to Long island, and i can only des
