Day 19 - Whitsundays Islands

Day 19 - Whitsundays Islands

The crew wakes up early and i'm forced to do the same since i got one of the last beds cuz I was late and forced to sleep next to the kitchen. By the way the crew is cool. The captain Glen is quite but friendly. 2 guys Liam and Jesse are a riot. Liam talks like a pirate...perfect. And then there is Claudia she is in training and is helping out. She is beutiful. From england. We talk as we sell past these huge mansions on one of the islands about wealth and fulfillment. Yeah I know kinda deep for a first convo. Highlight of the 2nd day is Whitehaven beach. Huge white sand beach. Sand consists of 98.9% Silica supposedly can't be found anywhere else in the world. This stuff doesnt' get hot now matter how hot it is. Was used in the making of the huble telescope. Can be used to polish jewelery. Fun facts may or may not be true but interesting neverytheless. We swim in the ocean w/ stinger suits. Stingers = Jellyfish. One girl gets bit on the foot despite the suite . Bummer. She shakes it off though. 3 BC boys are frolic in the water. Getting wet then diving face first into the sand. Right next to each other. Not minding the stinger suit rule at all. Boys will be boys. We hope back on the boat and get ready for an afternoon of diving. Though I've divin before I start to get nervous. I notice the boat has no scuba gear. I ask and Liam say the dive boat called in and had to cancel. WTF. But honestly slightly relieved. Butstill that was my chance to dive great barrier reef and it was cancelled. Kinda fucked up. Isnorkeled anyways and noticed the visibility was pretty shat. Well at least compared to Thailand and Hawaii. Maybe the dive spot would of been better but i doubt it. We sail to our night time destination watch another increadible sunset surrounded by islands. Really a very romantic experience and you would be hard pressed to find one person w/ out a significant other not wanting to have a significant other right there at that moment. Minus the BC boys of course. They were too busy singing drinking songs. They had a convo argument of Tyre vs. Tire and one of the crew, Jesse, had to wake up and tell them the etomology and to shut up. Also the stars are amazing. You can see everything. The milky way and at times the southern cross. Very magical.
