Pirates in the Passage!

Sawmill Bay, Cid Harbour, this morning ...

... and this was the view to the north-west last night.

We woke to a beautiful cloud formation and glass-like water in Cid Harbour this morning.
Our crossing from Double Bay yesterday resulted in one pirate ship sighting, one beaut size mackerel and one very happy captain.

Fresh mackerel for tea again. Delicious!

You never know what you're going to see in the Whitsunday Passage.

We had our first snorkel of the season in May's Bay yesterday. Despite the weather having been calm for a number of days, the water was surprisingly turbulent and visibility down to a metre. It's a beaut little bay, one that we've not explored before but it's rocky fringe and big offshore bommie decided us against an overnight anchorage there, hence we snuck around the corner into Sawmill Bay and Cid Harbour.
