We headed back to our sailing boat with our group and chatted to everyone and headed for Blue Pearl Bay where we all watched the sunset whilst having some snacks and dinner. This is where the boat parked up for the night and we all chilled on the deck drinking and watching the stars- which were amazing! We even spotted a couple of shooting stars! Some of the group attempted to sleep up on the deck, and Brad was the only one who made it through the whole night.
We had an early start the next day and got ready for snorkelling. There was so many fish in the reef! The area was still part of the Great Barrier Reef but it was so different to Cairns where we snorkelled in it too. The girl from the tour kept chucking in bits of bread for the fish so we could all watch them underwater :)
We went to a second snorkel spot where there was a few turtles, but because it was a bit chilly I just laid on the beach for a while. When we got back to the boat it was so sunny and we all sunbathed on the deck- aka napping for me as I seem to always fall asleep in the sun no matter where I am! After lunch we sailed for a couple hours home. I had never been on a sailing boat (that I can remember) and so when the boat was literally on its side and you have to hang on for dear life, it's safe to say I was just a bit frightened! After a while you get used to it but it's still the strangest concept to me!
Overall we had an amazing 2 day and one night adventure on the Whitsundays! We met some amazing people and created memories that will definitely stay with me forever. I would definitely go back and the pictures don't even do it justice! With the beaches also, because the sand is constantly being moved around and the sea changing, the way you saw the beach will change from the next time you go there which I think is pretty cool!
