Cruising the Whitsundays

We sailed out of Sydney on Saturday afternoon after enjoying lunch on board the Volendam. The weather was somewhat overcast but we still enjoyed the spectacular sights of our own Sydney Harbour.

At long last we had a few days of leisure during which we ate, drank, slept, read and caught up on the latest Microsoft Windows.

This morning we glided by the many islands of the Whitsundays and have spent the day ashore on Hamilton Island.  We ate and drank some more, swam in the pool and managed to catch up with our great niece, Edwina, who is working at a 5 star resort.

We have another sea day before arriving at Port Douglas.

Gosh you do look posh at formal night!

No snorkeling? Or is it stinger season?

You look so well and relaxed. How are Helen and Tony? It is getting very busy here in Sydney, some outing every day. Do you know that a man has fallen overboard from a ship coming into Sydney, I don't think they found him.Also a couple of different women have fallen off cliffs in separate incidents. Be safe and don't climb any fenced, especially to take photos.
