Pretty exited about my next three days, I'm going to spend them on a sailing boat, going around the Whitsundays Islands. Sailing is an other of my kid dream. When I was younger, I wanted to learn to sail, buy a boat and sail around the world. So it's a little bit of dream come true!!
The Whitsundays is a groupe of 74 Islands. Most of them are National park and some are privately owned with really expensive resort on them.
I choose one of the smaller boat, didn't wanted to be on one of the big party ones, not my thing ;)
We were 7 passengers plus 2 skippers and a guy learning the drills.
Unfortunately, with the time we had we couldn't sail all the time, we would have been to slow to go to all the places we were meant to visit :(. A little disappointed about that, but a least we had a goo sail the last day to go back to port :)
We stopped at three different spots for snorkeling, which where as nice as the ones I've done in Cairns, went to Whitehaven Beach, know for it's white sand, and had a surprise visit of a sea eagle. The skipper made friend with him, and when he goes by where he lives, he whistles and the eagle comes and receives some food. You can pretty much do anything with animal when you give them food, but it's still impressive the way they interact. And two Brahminys kite came to join the party, one of the best moment on the cruise.
And during the sail back home, we've been able to "drive" the boat. I loved it!! After those three days, I definitely want to learn to sail, maybe make my whole dream come true one day :)
