Continued..... We took advantage of the Clownfish Club again (child care centre) and spent the day out on the Banjo Pattern, one the yachts doing day trips out of Hamilton Island. We visited Whitehaven Beach (voted one of the top ten beaches in the world and number one in Australia), had a beautiful lunch on the yacht and then visited a place called 'Chalky's Beach' for a snorkel. The water was 24 degrees and even though we were in thin wetsuits Scott was shivering from within ten minutes. Getting soft after too much of the good life in Pohnpei.
Whitehaven beach, squeaky clean. A beautiful place for sure. Nic enjoyed just relaxing and reading a magazine. Scott played some beach cricket with some others off of the yacht.
Lunch is served. Does it get any better than white wine and prawns while anchored up at Whitehaven Beach.
The trip home was great fun. It was too windy to put the spinnaker up but the main sail helped us lay over enough.
The blue puffer-vest. It's a long story. Scott packed one of his jumpers when we left Pohnpei. When Nic repacked the bags she decided that Cairns/Hamilton Island are tropical places and it doesn't get cold. What the hell is Scott doing packing a jumper and it was prompting removed. Needless to say Hamilton Island is an extremely expensive part of the world so a cheap puffer vest was the best option. Gay but warm.
Nic took the wheel for about 20 minutes and after five minutes of leaving a wiggly wake very much had the hang of it and kept us on course. Nic loved it - tick that one off the 'to do' list.
