Doing lots in Airlie Beach - Sea Sprint to Whitsunday Islands and Whitehaven Beach

Today was a little busier.  We wanted to get out and about and we were advised to check out a tour with Sea Sprint https://www.seasprint.com.au/aboutus.html.  On this trip we traveled The Northern and Southern Whitsunday Islands.  This included snorkeling, a guided National Park walk at Hill Inlet, and a visit to Whitehaven Beach, We had the chance to use their stand up paddle boards but they were really hard to use.  Perhaps we sucked or they were improperly sized or not inflated enough.  It was a really fun day.  People here don't hide from the sun much.  I did cuz it was hot and I'm not dumb.  Back by 5 ish.  Dinner in town and chillin doing blogging.  Our next do stuff destination is 9 hours away.  We were advised to do the first leg of 6 hours to RockHampton. Apparently there is a whole bunch of nothing along the way.  Should be cool.

Bird feeding time

The pool, awesome

The water park awesome?  I wanted to try but had no kid to play with :-(

Nice job these guys do

K so after a 8:30 AM pickup we wind around the city picking up others and check in here

Nice day, awesome clouds

Walk this way

The boat

The lineup to the boat.  Grab a 3 mm wet suit

Clouds made nice shots

They grab your camera for a personal shot, nice touch

 bunch of snorkel photos.  They don't let us use fins.  Good idea as people will damage the reef with them

I forgot my red filter show Dive Plus saved the day

Sexy mermaid

I think that is a huge batch of fire coral.  Don't touch it whatever you do

Is that a mini Giant clam?

After the snorkel we hit the Whitehaven Beach.  Wicked

After the beach, a quick spin to a hike

Jump off the boat

I decide this day to get in shape, no more beer, seriously
