Wet & Wild Whitsunday

When we looked forward to our trip we envisaged Sun bathing on deck, sipping wine while slowly cruising the Whitsunday islands. We were wrong. We ended up with something even better. The storm clouds where in and blowing a consistent 25 knots, the Dreamcatcher refound her roots as a round the World Ocean racer. We hurtled accross the sea leaning at a 45 degree angle holding on for our lives as the skipper shouted instructions to tighten sheets, crank winches, and even steer as he sheeted in the main sail to reach top speed. It was awsome!

We spent the days racing the 62 foot yatch between the Island, and the evenings we spent in the outstanding sheltered bays sat on deck under the brightest moon imaginable drinking beer and wine with the 12 other crew, to toasts of "here's to living the dream".

We also snorkelled over coral reefs and swam alongside giant sea turtles. We ate like Kings and were weighted on hand and foot.
It had to be one of the most exhilarating and relaxing experiences we've ever had.
The Dreamcatcher was increadible with her 4 massive sails, pristine deck, and wooden interior. We know that we chose the best yatch to cruise the Whitsundays in.

We owe the best three days in Oz to Ruth and John who brought us the trip for our wedding.
Cheers guys!
