Whitsundays – Part 1 - July 2009
















The month of July 2009 was spent in and around the Whitsunday Islands, sailing, swimming, snorkelling, socialising and restocking with provisions. There are many Whitsundays' shots on our 2008 Blog, but here are just a few different ones from 2009 (some look the same!!!).

For those South Australians who remember Josko Grubic and his beautiful boat, 'Anaconda II' (which he entered in the Whitbread around the world race)- well, she is now a "Backpacker Boat" with the stunning 'Condor of Bermuda' in the Whitsundays.

The new lookout at Hill Inlet is now finished and has stunning views of the inlet and Whitehaven Beach. Of course, liqueurs were served onboard Erica and some guests just had to lie down.

Our first whale of the season was spotted feeding its calf at Cateran Bay, Border Island, while we were enjoying sunset drinks, watching this beautiful scene of nature.

Then when we were madly provisioning at Airlie Beach, the Australian sail training vessel, Young Endeavour, sailed in with literally all the young crew up the mast - what a great sight it was!
