Our week with Tim

Timothy came up this same week last year and it blew a gale all week.  We rocked and rolled around the Whitsundays.

This time we had blue skies, kinder winds and hot sunny days.  Lots of swimming and snorkeling.  We unfortunately didn’t get to the outer reef but we did get to some of the best snorkeling spots.

I’ll let the pictures tell the story.

My favourite boys!

He is a dinghy nerd! Always has been.

Haslewood Island … great snorkelling at a new place. We can’t believe we haven’t visited here before.

Amazing clam detail

The soft corals were amazing

Fun at Butterfly Bay. We thought we’d try to match this photo we found in a recent sailing magazine. Ha!  Not so easy we discovered. Especially when the diver is not such a good a diver!  And no one has ever told me … to straighten those legs!

Easy peasy!! Wasn’t so easy after all.

Aghhh … those legs!

And the feet! Cringe!!

I think this is the best angle!!

We got our favourite mooring in Butterfly Bay, right down the end.  A beautiful hot day.  We dinghied from here to Luncheon and Mantray Bays for some snorkeling.

Getting very wet! On our way to our snorkeling adventures

Finally captured one of these … very shy fish

Love the parrot fish, so colourful & noisy. They have numerous teeth that resemble a parrots beak.
