Looks good, for the last 48 hours it hasn't dropped below 15 knots at hamilton island

as I havn't booked yet and am hopping to get something cheaper on standby rates. I checked it out this time last year and there was at least 30% of most of the chater companies boats still available.quote:

i dont think you can achor at whitehaven but you can not far from it, i hired a 42' catamaran from sunsail for 3 days for $1400 (have to know the right people), slept 10 so was well worth it, too bad i didnt kite back then, would have been good.

I can't believe the wind here, it blows day and night, I started this thread to get a bit of feedbaack on the area.
It just goes to show that the guys from central QLD must get a lot of time on the water this time of year.

Hi there,
I worked on the boat that did the kite tours to Whitehaven, your best bet is to anchor in tongue bay unless winds are coming to much from the east, if you have a shallow cat you can drive up into the inlet and park behind the sand bank but take your insect repellent, the best time to kite is on the outgoing tide as it can whip up some really nice little ramps, if the wind is coming to much from the south and you are finding it a bit to gusty sail up to langford spit, it will take half a day to get there but is an epic spot. while on land make sure you get to conway beach, in low tide it has a flat water lagoon just dont go to far into the river mouth unless your sure the crocs have been well fed. have fun
