Since leaving Airlie Beach last Friday we have had an idyllic five days cruising around part of the Whit Sundays, having anchored in Nara and Macona Inlets, Cid Harbour, and Tongue Bay. The weather was perfect for taking it easy tho now the wind has picked up so we made our way back to Airlie Beach where we will hunker down for a few days and get some chores behind us (always something to be done!). The wind gave us 6 knots of speed today despite no mainsail....

On Monday we climbed up Whit Sunday Island's highest peak for the most wonderful 360 view of the area. Will post a photo as soon as I have worked out how to exceed my photo 'allowance' on this blog site. Yesterday we anchored off Border Island for a few hours to go snorkling, and were rewarded with good coral and reef fish.
