Hello All,
We are back on the mainland after 10 days in the Whitsundays. First 4 were spent on Hamilton Island (aka Hamo) where we tuned sailing skills on a Hobi-Cat with 20 knot winds - FUN! Fruit bats and Sulfer Crested Cockatoos galore!
We then spent a week on a bare-boat charter (that is, we skippered the boat) and sailed all over the islands, enduring hazards such as sharks, jelly fish, perilous eddy's in Solway Passage that changed the boat's tack by 45 degrees and speed by 50 percent in just a few seconds. Whew!
Sorry for the dearth of updates, but we have thoroughly enjoyed not having any access to the world! No phones or internet for 10 days was really peaceful. We have some wonderful pictures to post after I edit them down to web-sized images (20 MB is a bit much for this post).
Heading now up to Cairns & Port Douglas where we expect to see the tropical rain forest and lots of Aussie critters.

It's wonderful to see that your adventure is going so well. Mind yourselves around the dingos and crocodiles. Rumors has it they only look friendly and in fact are trained menace Americans.
