That is the most blow boats I have ever seen under sail at one time. So did you act like most sailors and give Great Sandy her head and pass everything in sight

Thanks gents.
We've been out of comms range these past few days, enjoying iconic Whitehaven Beach on the western side of Whitsunday Island.
I've had fun exploring Hill Inlet in Feather Pram. Will post some Whitehaven/Hill Inlet pics tomorrow.

Well won't you just look at that little girl playing in the surf! She is having so much fun. Needs some more oil!

Well Wed. has nearly come and gone in the Central time zone as I am on the banks of the Mississippi River on vacation also. You said on Tuesday you would have pics up today. It must be Thursday your time. Well, where the heck are they. I am so glad you are enjoying yourselves. Tom

We started the day with a walk and swim at Whitehaven Beach (first pic), then sailed up to anchored off Hill Inlet at the northern end of Whitehaven B. (second pic), where I went exploring up the estuary in Feather Pram. A most enjoyable day.TomW1 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 12:08 am Well Wed. has nearly come and gone in the Central time zone as I am on the banks of the Mississippi River on vacation also.

Blue water and white sands. That is pretty much what post cards were made for. Amazing it is not covered with condos and people

Absolutely gorgeous GB I will always wait for pcs like those. Tom
