Sailing in the Whitsundays













Almost a week ago, we departed from Airlie Beach for three days of sailing in the Whitsundays. We hopped on the 80 year old ketch Ron of Argyll, together with nine other passengers. This sailing is usually the highligt for Australia travellers. Well, we agree. The weather didn't really permit us to visit all the places we would have wished to see in the island group (consisting of 74 islands) but we saw the most important sight of them all: Whiteheaven Beach, voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world.
