Whitsunday sailing

Imagine clear blue water, sunshine, laying on the deck of a sailing boat drinking a cold drink and listening to good chillout music. Or then try to imagine the same with thousands of stars in the sky. This is basically what Whitsunday sailing is about =) I can say that it was extremely relaxing and nice.

This time our group consisted of 15 persons from different countries. We had also three persons working on the boat. We were sailing for three days and two nights. On the first day we were only sailing to our destination were we spent one night. On the second day we went snorkling two times and also went to Whithaven beach, which had beautiful white sand. When we went snorkling we had to wear stinger suits due to the stinger season. Actually we heard that one guy from another boat had been stunged by a stinger and they had to take him to the hospital with helicopter. The third day we sailed back to the harbour and I also had a chance to try sailing. It was fun. We also had a small incident on the boat as our crew managed to drop one sail into the water and had to jump in and save it. One sail costs 11000 australian dollars so they were really worried about it (approximately 6600 euros).

At the moment we are at Magnetic Island, but I'll tell you more about this place later. Gotta go now. Cheers
