The bird problem happens a lot in some places where the birds are fishing/feeding, a way to stop them landing on the spreaders is to fix a 5mm line from the mast out to the shroud about 3" (75mm) above each spreader this stops the birds landing.
Those were some incredibly beautiful storms, although I am sure you and John were both just hoping no lightning strikes to your mast. Looking forward to the videos ow that the warm weather has arrived. Safe travels!
Always a pleasure to sail around with you and your crew to these beautiful and exotic places. I never did like lighting or seagulls while being on a boat, be carful.
I have visited Hamilton a number of times staying overnight in the Marina. Whilst the marina fee is high you are actually a resident guest of the resort so in your case 4 people @ $145 a night is quite cheap. The concierge help in docking and tying up is first class. Fresh food close by and a good selection of wines in the IGA. I would not knock it at all. I have also stayed in the resort in the Whitsunday apartments. 13th floor with truely spectacular views and it was not overly expensive. A great place and definitely worth it for an overnight if on a boat up that way. Best cheap experience is sunset drinks at One Tree Hill BYO. Best expensive experience is helicopter ride out to reef world for lunch and a snorkel on the outer reef.
Absolutely, totally agree! That’s what I was saying, it’s great value as you get to use the bus, resort pool, facilities and it’s MUCH cheaper than the hotel 😃😃 And yes, that IGA is very conveniently located! 🙏🫶🧡 Thanks so much for watching Russell, and next time, we’ll try the helicopter haha 🚁 sounds fun!
@@KristinasTravels thanks Kristina. I possibly got the wrong impression when you said it was the most expensive marina you had visited. Sorry. When I first saw Hamilton in about 1990 on my parent’s boat I was dismayed at the (over) development in such a pristine area. More recently in my own yacht (ZigZag) I think it is great as it is restricted to one island which was a grazing lease anyway. It allows easy access for people to visit the Whitsundays and for Yachties to get supplies and have a nice night out. Good little book on the history of the Island and Keith Williams is worth a read. I am currently looking out over the pristine waters of Moreton Bay in an apartment at Tangalooma. Viva the QLD coast. All the best and might see you in Moreton Bay sometime.
I love how you video Greece and then video Australia and you explain everything. I can't believe how expensive boating is in Australia? Thank you for sharing these journeys with the world. I love watching.
Hi y'all, beautiful scenery around those islands. Love lightning storms but having them close by is a bummer. The seagulls pooping reminded me of the phrase, poop deck. It's bad enough having to wash salt off all the time. Catch you next time John and k r i s t i n a, thanks.
That was a really nice resort at Hamilton. I liked the white sand ⛱️ beaches at your second stop. The storms were something else but not quite like the shitty welcome mat the seagulls set out for you. I've never seen them make a mess like that in that short period of time! Wow! 😎
Thanks for the great video. I visited Hamilton Island quite a few times in the early days when they had much more moderate marina fees. Not sure it's in their long term interests to gouge every visitor but I guess there is more demand for berths as time goes on. They used to have a dolphin pool so I'm glad that has gone.
Great video Guys! Just as well the birds weren't Albatrosses! 🙂 Greetings from Durban on the East Coast of South Africa where watching sailing channels is less stressful than watching our national Rugby and Cricket teams playing! 🤣😂🤣
I must admit I am having a good laugh seeing how your boat got so shit bombed by the birds. I've had that problem here in Seattle/Puget Sound from time to time though no stench as you were describing. That aside I am blown away at the Whitsundays! It is not like Hawaii but like French Polynesia to be honest. Again Kristina, wonderful storytelling and editing👏👏👏👏👏
Oh my gosh, that is the perfect way to describe it. Shit bombed. 🤣🤢 It really is Brad - such a beautiful part of the world when it’s not stormy or blowing a gale! 😎🫶🧡 Thank you for your kind words, been a fun week making this one for y’all xx
Hey Kristina what can I say, but another ace video. Sure loved to see Hamilton Island, just for the rich hey & then onto Whitehaven beach & then around the corner to anchor for the night & that darned bird that left its calling card everywhere, who would have thought that one bird could do so much damage. Good to have company with you on this part of your trip as you head south.Kristina I have to ask how far south are you coming & then what? KJust thought that I would ask as you have been been both , so much enjoying what you are doing & getting better at boat handling everyday. I just hang out for your new video's so many thanks for brightening my every week. Safe travels & look forward to Sth Molle Is on next video, Cheers

Awesome content…. Brings back so many memories from 2001 to 2003 cruising through the islands on HMAS Tobruk…. Not sure all the boats liked when we anchored of Whitehaven and 100 or so sailors go ashore to play sports on the beach for 6 hours…. Fun times
Oh wow, amazing! What a great place to explore while on the job! ☺️ ohhh my gosh, that would have been amazing! What a sight to witness!!!! And what great memories! Not too many people can say they’ve done that in their lifetime! 🙂😎
You are lucky. I parked my car at the marina. Last vacant spot in the car park near a streetlight. I discovered why - Pelicans. I couldn't see my car at all a couple of hours later. 😩
Ohhhhhhhh noooooooo! Pelicans are even worseeeeeee. 🥵🥵🥵 I remember growing up on a lake, and one day, my dad went to take me to school and as we walked to our bricked driveway to the car… a pelican had done a 💩 while flying past and it literally demolished the driveway. The red bricks where now white from one side to the other!! 😂😂😂 Dad and I COULDNT believe it!!! How does one bird produce so much 💩💩💩 hahaha
12:14 Never untie your dinghy without running your outboard first! and always have a phone or vhf radio with you in your dinghy at all times! You don't want to be drifting out to sea with no way of calling for help!
The Whitsundays is heaven on earth! It's a bit of a shame you concentrated on Hamilton Island, that's pretty much the lowest point of the Whitsundays and then Hayman, no comment on that one. Perhaps that was a financial decision but regrettable. While you're there it would be great if you could talk to some of the older yachties and locals about how great South MOLLE was for yachties, the figurehead race and how that got started. Also Narra inlet where you can literally take a bucket or 3 and fill them up with fresh oysters from the rocks at low tide. Also Sid harbour on Whitsunday island with the nice beach and monument to Captain Cook, also there is a dry riverbed there that you can climb all the way up to the peak almost. Then Double Island point, there used to be a makeshift hut there that always had Jerry cans full of fresh water left from previous yachties that enjoyed a night on terra ferma lol. Then for the hungry adventurers there's Hazelwood Island, it's a bit of a sail but we used to go there for wild bore hunting, great bbq's!! There's so many wonderful places there, you could visit a new one each day and still not see it all for years! Theres fantastic history there, keep you laughing all night at a BBQ on an out of the way beach with yachties from around the world that you've never met before but have seen the fire going strong! Truly heaven on earth!
Hey Pete!! 😁😁 totally agree, we actually spent a heap of time around the Whitsundays on the way up north, I’m not sure if you’ve managed to catch these episodes, I just didn’t want to double up on the same locations! Let me know and I can link the episodes for you 👌✌️ In fact, I might link them in the description now that you mentioned it! I really should have cross promoted these previous episodes :)
@@KristinasTravels th-cam.com/video/hEqkTPbc9mw/w-d-xo.html they talk about it 4.00 min in. All their videos from then they have 2 lines, I've also seen others do it too, for example sailing GBU their video today you can see 2 lines to their dingy. Around 15.00 min in th-cam.com/video/B1RbOW9TN90/w-d-xo.html That's what put it in my head 😁
Back in 1998 I worked on Daydream and Long Island as a photographer. I left the UK to backpack around the world with eight countries ahead of me and my work visa for Australia tucked away for when I arrive. Could I make a request, a sail past Daydream & Long Island? I hope to return someday soon.
Wowwwww! What a journey!!! I love stories like yours Lee. The courage it takes to pack up and just got for an adventure like that is admirable 🫶 You’ll absolutely have to make your way down to Airlie Beach again soon and retrace your footsteps!! 💛
Question: It seems as though nobody ever cruises the West coast of Australia. Why? Is the East coast so good? The West coast so bad? Both? The attractive proximity of the East coast to New Zealand and French Polynesia?
I’ve heard the West Coast is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, but it’s just not populated like the East Coast, so it’s probably a numbers game. More people = more boats on the East Coast (but this is only a guess) it’s very remote on the West Coast (you’re a long way from help) with long stretches between towns 🤗
I’m not sure Luke, but most probably. Many of the islands were inhabited by aboriginals. There’s a wonderful tribute and cave drawing in Nara Inlet, if you go back and check out that episode I actually show you the cave 🫶
Yet another video of Whitsunday. Oh yawn. If you got there after 1982 then you can only see what lack of foresight and overdevelopment has done. Hayman is overpriced to keep the plebs out. Hook island is long dead. South Molle needs bulldozing. Daydream is a nightmare. Lindeman is a deserted shell. Hamilton is suburbia on a rock. And that's it. It's all very nice on film. All that blue water. But the real treasures are further south from the Smith group through the Percy's and further south. Mostly uninhabited and pristine in condition. But I guess a lack of cocktail Bars feels primitive to some.
It’s about the journey Mick, and we are having a wonderful time, we’ve already seen so much and love the adventure and see the beauty of every island. Each has its own personality and character 🏝️ I agree though, Middle Percy was one of our favourites. While pristine, every island (including Percy’s) have massive plastic problems though, I think that needs to be the focus in all of this. How do we reduce and manage the plastic washing up, and when are these so called pristine islands going to be cleaned? Who will take responsibility?
@@KristinasTravels you're right about the rubbish on the islands. It's often spoken of and that's as far as it gets. I had a job on one of the Flat Isles and once a year the turtle conservation crowd would turn up for a taxpayer funded holiday and then leave. Nobody ever arrived to even walk the beaches and assess the accumulation of flotsam. A pretty sad state of affairs but I don't think it will change anytime soon.
