Sailing the Whitsunday Islands: The Good, the Bad, and the Quirky

Ep 44: We finally sail into the highly anticipated Whitsunday Islands, through the Solway Passage. Highlighting Whitehaven Beach, Mantaray Bay, and Chairn Lookout, we experience gorgeous beaches, great walks, whales, Giant Maori Wrasse, and Giant Trevally. We enjoy sharing this experience with Rachael's parents, and their encounters with ants and spiders. We highlight a bit of Whitsunday's history, and also point out a few challenges we encounter. Most of the time the weather is fabulous, and we enjoy the calmer waters inside Queensland's Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Our route is from Shaw Island, through Solway Passage, Whitehaven Beach, Chalky's, Esk Island, Hill Inlet, Tongue Bay, Border Island, Chairn Passage, Nara Inlet, Airlie Beach, South Molle, Black Island, Blue Pearl Bay Hayman Island, Maureen Bay, Mantaray Bay, Chairn and back to Airlie Beach!
