Alida, 34ft 4in catamaran out of Hamilton Beach. Sunsail Yacht Charters.
Tom and Dianne and Paul and Becky met up with our sailing partners, Eric and Kathee and Larry and Val at the boat on Saturday afternoon. Our provisions had been delivered with only minor glitches...like the fact that all the wine had been delivered to a postal box on the other side of the island. Luckily, Kathee realizeed the mistake and one of the wonderful Sunsail people, James, picked it up for us.
Hamilton Island (population in 2006 of 1, 246) is pretty small, but boasts a jet airport and the Sunsail operation is a stroll from the ferry dock where we landed from Airlie Beach.
We were briefed on the Whitsunday islands and presented with charts anf information about where we cannot sail: five bays that are dangerous in the largrt area We stowed our provisions got another briefing on the boat and then began to relax in our home for two weeks.
