You certainly covered some ground in just a couple of days. Great write up and terrific photos.

You are lucky to have such a good cruising grounds so close to home. No infrastructure!! How good is that??

The Whitsundays are somewhat jaded these days where to be the only yacht in an anchorage is a rarity. Airlie Beach is overrun with backpackers who just take,take,take and give nothing back.

However the Whitsundays fortunately is only a small part of what the Queensland coast has to offer. The Great Sandy Straits, the Keppel Group, Percy Group, Orpheous and Dunk Group, just to name a few are far better places to cruise and do have some infrastructure for when needed.

Thanks for the write up. Cheers Cisco.

Reevseby Island is now apparently "feral free". I did see a tiger snake though.

If there is one there is usually another but if they ain't got nothin' to eat, soon there will be none.

Rabbits (actually Hares) are on Spilsby....

They are tasty

I just got back from a couple of days sailing around the Sir Joseph Banks Group of islands in South Australia.
It's a magical place and I could have easily spent a week there. It must surely be one of the most under-rated cruising grounds in Australia.
