Tag 43: Sailing Whitsunday Islands

In the evening and at night we already feel the stronger swell. A good sign, there could be enough wind for sailing. But more on that later.

First, we take a trip into the history of the indigenous people who used Hook Island for spiritual purposes 9,000 years ago. As proof, we admire a cave with cave paintings. Impressive history, touching destiny.

Back on the ship, we let off steam again with jumps from the ship and sunbathe on the deck. There is something for everyone here.

Then it's time. We are allowed to help the crew set full sail. We don't imitate the climbing skills of the crew members 10 meters high, but we help with all our strength to pull the ropes.

Finally, the captain turns off the engine and we sail towards the harbor. At 4 knots.

Very impressive, also for the boats around us. We are sure that we have chosen the most beautiful sailing ship for our tour.

Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to the great crew, super nice fellow travelers, and the impressive Solway Lass.
