The main reason for coming to Airlie Beach (which is very very very touristy) is to go on a sailing trip to the Whitsunday Islands. I booked two days and two nights on a budget boat called „Tongarra“. The trip was alright, we had a few very crazy guys on board and therefore lots of fun. The scenerie is – as always... – beautiful. We did a few hours of snokeling at three different reef spots, visited the famous „Whitehaven Beach“ and had lots and lots of sun. This time I even saw a turle while I was snorkeling! Jippieh! Finally!

We did not much of sailing at all, even when it was windy enough (in my opinion) – I have no idea why. The motor of the boat was on nearly all the time – as was the music. Which is a shame because you cannot enjoy the quiet of the scenerie then. But maybe I'm just getting too old for trips with a bunch of 19-yearolds... ;-)
