Last weekend I had the incredible opportunity to spend three days aboard Wings III sailing and snorkeling the Whitsunday Islands. The fish! The coral! The seasickness! I positive now the best way to diet is by spending time on a sailboat. The chef onboard served us food for kings: BBQ, pastas, salads, fresh fruit and veggies, carrot cake and chocolate cookies, but by day two I was so queasy from the rocking I couldn't eat! And this never happens. I am never not hungry.
Highlights from the trip:
- scuba diving for the first time off of Hook Island
- walking on the ocean floor
- seeing Nemo
- chasing sting rays and reef sharks in the shallow waters of Whitehaven Beach
- the sand at Whitehaven, the most beautiful and soft sand I have ever seen
- stinger suits!
- stargazing - no better way to see the galaxy than on a sailboat in the middle of the ocean
- cup of jo before a 7 a.m. snorkel
