Ben's Excellent Adventure - Part 1

Saturday 3 July to Wednesday 7 July
Ben arrived Saturday and we spent the night at Hamilton Island Marina. It is very windy, quite cool and isolated showers - not the weather Ben was looking for I'm afraid. Sunday we head to Gulnare Inlet on Whitsunday Island. It is quite shallow at the entrance however plenty of room inside and seems to have a lot of cruising yachts and few charterers. One fish for Warren and Ben and I happy to read in the overcast conditions.




The forecast is better for Monday, so we head around to Whitehaven Beach. The sun is out by lunchtime and we have 2 great days and nights here with walks on the beach, kayaking and relaxing in general.



On Wednesday we motored to Hill Inlet to climb up to the lookout for the view over the full stretch of beach. It's nice to see the variety of butterflys on every island.


On our way to Blue Pearl Bay to do some snorkelling, we saw a whale on the NE corner of Hook Island. We slowed down and saw 4 in total.




Low tide at Blue Pearl Bay gave us a close look at the reef and the fish. As we had a mooring we decided to spend the night here. Print this post
