Sailing the Coral Sea

DSC_2924 There were 3 main activities I was looking forward to in Australia:  Surfing, Sailing, and Diving.  The other day we returned from our 2-day/2-night sailing trip in the Whitsunday's, thereby accomplishing 2 of the 3 aforementioned activities.  The sailing really lived up to its high expectations -- it was a really great trip.  We were on the ship BroomStick, with a fantastic crew (especially the Skipper, Mick... how Ozzie of a name is that?!?!) and a great group of passengers.

This trip is best told with pictures, so here's a bunch!

Here's a shot when we got the boat right on up her side, 45 degrees and were flying through the water.  The low side of the boat has the railings almost in the water!
