WHALES IN GOLD COAST

Took our CJ out for a sea trial and we had the luck to see a whale having a play.
And thanks to dad I could get a great photo that now has been sent to the news paper.
TACK FOR KAMERA LINSEN PAPPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JAG ALSKAR DEN!

I just love taking photos!

Hopefully the paper will publish this one!

Finally some updates!

Lots of ups and downs
Love it love it hate it and then we love it again
So Lets try to back track this....
Last was Hamilton island...
Then it was the

Whitsundays
I feel so sorry for people that plan there retirement for 20 years and save theire money to buy a boat and sail the whitsundays...
Pore people...
Its pretty, but cheeses so booooooring!
Nothing going on
What happen to the Bali huts on the beach with fresh juice and cocktails and what happen to everyine playing guitars and singing on the beach?
THAT DOES NOT EXCIST IN AUSTRALIA because there is toooo many rules....
You cant do this and you cant do that!
So we spend some time in Airlie and that was a bit more fun..
We miss swimming and B miss surfing!
We miss the 10knot winds...Bugger 30knots

couldnt upload more photos as usual.. so there is more to come.......

Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island
Wild Oates
Robert Oatley

They all talk about it
most of the yachties dont like it

So we thought we would check it out
Called up on the radio and asked if it was possible to tie up for a couple of hours to have lunch
O yes the answer was
A dingy came out and followed us in to the dock
Helped us tie up and I thought wow this is great service
Then he pulled the card swiping machine out of his pocket ( SHIT WE HAVE NO MONEY!!!)
He asked how long we would stay for , and told us it was $ 17 / hour.
So we figured we could stay for three hours and share a lunch.
Lets spend the last cents we have on the luxury Island
Went up to the tavern, the guy that charged us said that was the cheapest and best place to have lunch.
You could smell the money at the place when we where walking up to the main stripp
Smart good looking people and could see and feel all the money in theire wallets
Just such a qute little town
A small stripp with all you need
So we went up to the tavern and ordered a chicken parmecianio or how ever you spell it and a bottle of wild oates sav blanch and the money was spent just right to the last cents
Yes we enjoid it it was just great
And we enjoid eating that food so much after a while out on the water
Amazing what you chose to spend your last money on
Loved every minute of it
Rich or pore, everything in between is crapp!

We just loved this place

 
 
 

 

Brampton island

We had a great time at Brampton
Picked shells
Had a turtle funeral
Kangoooroooos
A traintrack on the island to take guests to the resort
The resort was closed down since 2011 but will be rebuildt and open again
A really nice place
Turtles fish reefs whales

Really nice
Coconuts from the beach that we drilled in to and drank, yumm
Fish
B cooked us delicious dinner
And he now loves to make damper bread so we have just amazing breakfast every morning
Went for bush walks
And we had a little snorkel
We had the island almost all to our self and it was great
Such a beautiful place and no people around
Where is evryone

Where is the beach huts with lots of peaople and party???
Not in australia
I am still waiting for the hula danses and coconut coktails on the beach

B got up the mast and took some photos

Close whale contact # 2 Brampton Island

This time the whale was dead
A Humpback got hit by a tanker and died
He was drifting past our yacht and we drove over to have a closer look
It was just horrible
So sad
This massive thing floating belly up
The smell was something I hope I will never smell again
He was helf eaten
It was so sad
B cirkeled around
Sharks was eating on him
TIGER SHARKS
The seacond most deadliest
We could see 3 of them and the biggest one was about 12ft
You need to zoom on some of the photos to be able to see
We still dont have a good zoom for the camera
But a got a few pictures
This is just something incredible and we are very lucky to have seen something like this
OR maybe unlucky
We both swam in the water the day before, about 200 m away from the Tiger Sharks
Not sure I am so keen to go swimming again
Wow
This was just so close
To see a shark eating a whale like that
Just not real
At one stage the big shark came right towards our yacht, like he was telling us to F off.
I you can zoom in you can acctually really see his face close up
Really scary but wow so incredible

 Dead male humpback belly up

 Tiger shark

 Not so friendly tiger shark

 Tiger shark eating whale for lunch

 Tiger shark taking a bit

 He could kill us in no time

 Thats the beach where we where swimming the day before

 Tiger shark swimming towards the yacht

Thats what I call a big finn

We have really seen some things lately

Close whale contact Brampton Island #1

Took the dingy for a ride at Brampton Island
Saw a whale that was pretty close so we turned the outboard of
The whale disapeared and we thought he was gone
But there he was
Under us
About 5ft under our dingy, belly up
Incredible
Could almost of touched him
If he flinched or flicked his tail we would of been in the water
Just amazing
I just froze and didnt really get a photo
All we could see was white on both sides of the dingy and then he came up infront of us
Just crazy
