We left Hamilton Island Monday morning after a dreadful night with a mob of drunks in the next boat – idiots to a man. It was very unpleasant, it seems Hamilton attracts these sort of people. Anyway on to more pleasant things. We motored to Whitehaven Beach and anchored in a quiet and peaceful spot – we walked along the beach had sundowners after a lovely swim in the clear water. It was lovely and we all slept much better than at Hamilton! Next morning we decided to motor all the way around Whitsunday Island to show the kids (Lisa was not too impressed as she is prone to seasickness). However in spite of Lisa’s trepidation it was a great decision as it was quiet and the views were spectacular. We stopped briefly at Dumbell Island for a quick snorkel so Lisa and Mark could see the coral and the fish. A bonus for us all was the arrival of a mob of Batfish looking for a free feed. We dropped the kids back at Hamo after the circumnavigation and they are now in their flat, apparently with great views. We are in Cid Harbour with about 300000 other boats as it is supposed to blow 30 knots tonight and also be over 20 now. Right now it is blowing about 5 knots – and that’s fine!! We will see.
