Airlie Beach and sailing the Whitsundays

---

Airlie beach is the getaway to the Whitsundays...except drinking and buying souvenirs, not much to do around here!! The main street is about 1 km long and once you've done that, you've been pretty much everywhere in the city! 😊 There is also a lagoon just like in Cairns but the weather hasn't been good enough to swin in it.

We sailed in the beautiful 65 foot sail boat DreamCatcher for two days two nights and that was quite an experience. There were 14 of us plus the skipper and host/decky who cooked us really good food!! We had vegetables dip every afternoon and pasta, salad, and the second night, we had steak and sausages!! It was just great! Best food i've had in weeks 😊

The first ngith was a bit rough....heaps of waves, but no one got sick. Left early the next morning to go to Whithaven beach (that famous white beach) and it was incredible indeed!! I would've stayed there for hours! Never seen sand so white....just pure white! Then we headed to our snorkeling spot off Hook Island.
The snorkeling was GREAT! We met George a huge Giant Wrasse (or something like that) and met his little friends too...It was just so much fun. We had bought an underwater camera and rapidly went yesterday for develpment (pics on Phil's site).

We were able to sail on our last day for a few hours going at a speed of approximaletly 8-9 knots with only the Gibb and the back sail....which is awesome! Had lots of fun.

Now back in Airlie beach, last day here....Not much to do except drinking 😉 but maybe not today as we are taking the bus a 6pm for Hervey Bay...another wonderful night bus....but another city (or village) to discover!

Can't wait! The adventure continues...

Allo
Quelle chance tu as de voir tout ça et de vivre toutes ces expériences. Des endroits splendides, du sable blanc, la mer, les coraux et poissons, une croisière sur un magnifique voilier: Que la vie est dure...!! Continue d'en profiter au maximum et sois toujours très prudente. xxxx
