Well here we are anchored off the famous world know beach, White Haven Beach.
Have you heard if it? Well I haven't but apparently every tourist that's comes up this way has...haha
The Captain had known about this beach with its beautiful white sand, and it is pretty and very soft and fine, but man does it get a lot of tourist, they come in droves, in all kinds of boats and even a sea plane.
This plane landed right next to us, we watched it and were trying to work out how they get the people on the beach, well that's no problem, you just get real close to shore and put down a little ramp and off they walk.
The same thing happens with the tourist boats as well the ramp goes down they line up and like little sheep they all climb aboard.
We finally managed to get our walk on the beach, tourist or not it was still nice, I even got a small bag of sand to add to my collection.
Last night we had a nice neighbour for the night, The Endeavour came around the corner and anchored quite close to us, what a ship it is, we sure were not the biggest boat in the anchorage that night.
I'm not sure who knows the history of The Endeavour but it was given to Australia for our bicentennial by Great Britain, and it's a training sail vessel, it sure is a beautiful boat.
The anchorage here was ok but got very rolly through the night, so yours truly did not get much sleep.
Today we are heading for Airlie Beach were we will get some much needed fresh supplies, I for one are hanging out for some.
Well tomorrow is another day.
