PICTURE: Hill Inlet at the Whitsundays
Well we survived our sailing trip with no sea sickness at all. It was really awesome, the first day was really sunny and beautiful and the second day was quite cloudy but no rain so it was ok.
The first day we stopped at coral bay for snorkelling and it was so beautiful, the coral was so colorful, and there was tons of fish. Next we went to Dumbell island where we had lunch and another snorkel. This spot was by far the best snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef that we have ever seen. The fish were huge and the coral was absolutely sparkling. Our last stop for the day was at White Haven beach, i have never felt such amazing sand in my life. It felt like walking on flour it was so fine. The reason it is so soft is because it is made up of 99.8% silica and not fine rock like most sand. When we walked on it, it made a squeeking noise like snow boots on new powder. It was weird! We docked the boat in the inlet there for the night and did a little drinking and sleeping.
The next day we went to the White Haven beach lookout. We had seen postcards of it but we never believed that it could be this beautiful. We have decided that it is the most beautiful beach we have ever seen.(We post pictures of the beaches we see on bottom right hand side of the blog!) We spent a couple hours at the beach there, i went into the water for a swim and for the first time was graced by the presence of a rather large sting ray. A little too close for comfort!
All in all we had an amazing trip and would for sure do sailing again, even the food was really good and the crew even better. It sure makes a difference in a trip when the crew is young and fun. Any way we are in Airlie till tomorrow night and then we are off to 1770. Love you all,
Jen and Glenn

Hi Glenn, Jen...
Well, we survived out Vegas trip. We had a great time. It was 40+ every day there. We had an awesome pool at our hotel with a "swim with the sharks" enclosed. We went to the pool every day around 9 am and it was so hot you could barely breathe but the pool was great. We also did all the usual Vegas things, drink, eat, travel on the strip, shopping and of course gambling. We played horses (no luck) and penny and 5 cent slots (no luck) but fun was had and we didn't lose our shirts. Back to reality now and Rick back at work today after 10 days off. We had a great weekend in Vauxhall with campfires and cook-outs and fresh Taber peaches and cream corn on the cob. Love to you both. It sounds like you're having a fabulous holiday.
