This time they didn't have any sea-sickness tablets on board but luckily there was no wind at all so the sea was smooth. We pointed the boat in the direction of an island and cruised along for what seemed like forever, the island never getting any nearer..... It was actually only about 2 hours to get there and after getting into our 'stinger suits' (wetsuit that stops you getting stung by box-jellyfish), we jumped in for some snorkeling. The reef was amazing and full of fish! The captain of the boat cruised around in a little dingy making sure everyone was alright. When he came over to my group of 5 he threw some brown pellets over us....suddenly we were surrounded by hundreds of fish all jumping around to get the pellets! It was like being eaten by piranhas, without the pain....
After, we got some lunch on the boat then headed over to Whitehaven Beach. We walked through the forest to Hill Inlet Lookout for good views of the beach. We finally got to the lookout and were amazed at how beautiful it was. I've seen some amazing sights so far but Whitehaven has to be one of the best! Spent the next two hours swimming through the swirling sands of Whitehaven and then it was a long, choppy, ride home.....I just made it!
The day before I climbed Mt. Roper, this was the view!
Whitsunday Island from the boat
This boat was huge! Our boat was aboutb the size of the smallest one next to it...
A couple of the 74 Whitsunday islands

Whitehaven Beach!
The sand is bright white
And the water looks deep green to dark blue!
