We were on our way to Sid harbour for the night..........We didn't actually leave Shute harbour till the afternoon as there seemed to be one more job to be done.
Our friends had told us Sid harbour is a good and easy access anchorage so we went with that being our first attempt on this our new boat.
The trip took a leisurely 4 hours and we were all just so excited to be underway. Sitting up on the front deck was gorgeous and we are just so blessed to be doing this. Arriving into Sid Harbour was just stunning; the tide was in so it left a tiny patch of beach to be seen and a stunning vista of rainforest with huge mountainous green everywhere to be seen.
Downing the anchor proved very stressful the first time as Mark had been warned that it had some problems and extra caution needed always in Whitsunday Islands for coral bommies, so Mark of course was over cautious and we really didn’t know exactly who was best suited for what job. I initially drove the boat whilst following Mark’s instructions of forward or reverse and then there’s the tide that carries you whether you like it or not. Really not as easy as you think!
We woke the next morning early to the beautiful view of Sid Harbour and turtle spotting was so exciting for all of us. These amazing creatures where everywhere and glided so elegantly in the water.
