Airlie Beach
Woke to gusty winds which left us wishing that we were out on the Whitsundays on the perfect previous day. The biggest decision of the day was to sit at the front of the raft and cop the 40 knot winds or sit at the back where it was smoother but get wet. James decided sleeping was the best way to deal with the situation. Had a thrilling ride with some nice sized waves being created from the winds. Despite the winds, Whitehaven Beach was still spectacular. The weather started to deteriorate for lunch on Whitehaven beach so no surprise that the Brown’s were the only people from the boat who chose to swim on the island - we were determined to get our money’s worth regardless of the weather. On to Luncheon Bay & Manteray Bay for snorkelling where we saw some amazing coral formations and heaps of fish. Mark of course, had the GoPro on hand to get some great underwater shots. Tanya nearly wet herself when she saw the big gropers and trevally. Maddy overcame her fear of coldness to join in the snorkelling. Emily learnt that it is not normal for the mask to be filled with water. There was no stopping James getting in the open water to experience our Great Barrier Reef.
GO PRO GO PRO!!
