We had spent a few days at Shaw Island, wrestling with sharks, walking along the beach and seeing Stingrays in the shallows, so it was time to move on. We sailed north to Chance Bay (north East of Hamilton Island) on Whitsunday Island. With the winds turning North East chances were that it would be a nice sheltered bay. All the rent-a-yachts thought so too. Its quite a busy bay.
Today went for a walk across to Whitehaven Beach. The distance is a bit confusing. The sign when we started said 2.5km. On the way back the first sign said 2.3km after 600m there was another sign that said 3km. Anyway it was about a 2 hour walk each way.
We didn’t realise it was school holidays. There was a bit of a transformation from when we had seen the beach last month.
