Sailing to Blue Pearl Island Whitsundays - Wednesday

Bow dipping and spraying, yeehah...
Here we are picking up 12 knots and starting to fly...

This mainsail is 60' tall. An amazing sight full of wind...


Sand bar on the reef...
A small islet on the reef...

Just love sun on water...

Another option...slow and steady. Not our choice ;O)


Impossible to get all the mast into the frame at once - it's a long way up there...

I smiled all day long today...

A cat anchored off Hayman Island...

Greg and another winching up the foresail...


They start em young on the helm out here...

The day started overcast, but soon improved...

The rubber duck bouncing along behind...


This is Ragamuffin, a Maxi 75' ocean racing yacht. She was known as 'Bumblebee' when she won the Sydney to Hobart race on three occasions. We're sailing her again on Sunday...woohoo :O)
