Perfect Paradise in the Whitsunday's

I think both Roger and I feel we have made it at last. The sea is warm and turquoise,the sun is again shining, the beaches pristine and plentiful and for much of the time we are anchored alone in these idyllic surroundings. We have stopped heading north at a break neck pace. No more over night passages and in fact several days spent at the same location!

We spent a couple of lovely nights at Goldsmith Island before sailing the grand distance of 9 nautical miles to our present location at Thomas Island. Nobody here but us and the occasional Leatherback Turtle moseying on by. There have been many Sea Eagles soring over the waters but we have yet to see any dive for a fish. So little effort as they reach there lofty heights. The pace of the day has changed and today was spent snorkeling and taking the tender for a run about. we have run out of fuel a few times but our trusted oars have got us back to the boat without a hitch.
