Look how clear the water is here - amazing. |
Ended up a very rolly night and we didn't get much sleep.
Next afternoon, Helen and Colin took us to Windy Bay on Haslewood Island (only a few miles from Whitehaven Beach). Despite the name, Windy Bay was perfectly calm and just amazing. I dropped a peg overboard after we anchored and we could see it on the sand. Bit eerie as you keep thinking that you may not have enough water under the boat in low tide.
Absolutely magical. Great coral for snorkeling, swimming was lovely (but cold) and beach great to walk on. Water so amazingly clear.

From our anchorage in Windy Bay, looking towards Whitehaven in the distance |
Great Coral, small shark, lots of turtles, stingrays, soldier crabs and we caught Mackerel for dinner! |
Loads of soldier crabs marched around in formation with their lovely emerald blue backs. We saw a shark (Ian thinks it could be a tiger shark, small), lots of turtles, and stingrays - had to be careful when walking.
Ian also caught 4 nice big fat mackerel, very yummy and have two meals frozen too. Ian finally got to use the fishing rod which Ryan gave him a while back.
Windy Bay sure is a really pretty, lovely resource.
