After a lot or work, planning and many miles sailing, Erica finally returned to the Whitsundays and our first sunset welcome at Shaw Island was fabulous. Last year we didn't have much time to explore Shaw Island and so this time we enjoyed walking along the beautiful beaches at Burning Point. Next, we moved on to Neck Bay which looked fabulous in the tourist brochures but in reality turned out to be an uncomfortable anchorage (especially when we need a good rest after two walks on the protected and unprotected beaches). On the unprotected beach we found flotsam which we used to help mark the overgrown track for future cruisers. Having appreciated our longer stay at Shaw Island, we then headed off to fight it out with the crowds at the much loved Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island.
