- After the excitement in Hills Inlet we continu cruising through the Whitsundays and visit Tongue Bay, Butterfly Bay, Bait Reef, One Foot Island and Nara Inlet before heading to Airlie Beach
Awesome, thanks for sharing! 👏 😎🐠🤿⚓️🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
Great to see those wonderful areas of the Whitsundays. The whales are certainly around, I get worried sailing at night down the east coast at this time of year. My trick with the mooring buoys is to pull them in hard so they are right below the forebeam, especailly when you have current and of course pull your daggerboards all the way up. We had a crazy night at the north end of Frazer island where the current was 3-4 knots taking the anchor rode all over the place... Phil
Aah the beutiful butterfly 🦋 bay such a great spot 👌 😊
One of my favourite spots in whole world. Back of boat diving second to none if you discount visibility (rarely better than 8m)
Beautiful sailing. It would be a pleasure to watch an hour long of GC skipping the waves in soothing music 😊
For sure .. The O'Kellys did one across The Bahamas a while back .. very soothing for sure!
Aah yes the bouys so much fun 😂
Really nice boat, 🏋🏻♀️🤟🏋🏻♀️
😅 Still the best sailing videos! And I like the music! (60 years old 😂)
Fantastic footage! Well done
Very nice spots again. Wow, those underwater noises. It sounded like whales indeed. Thanx again for another video!
Happy greetingz,
Wim
Didn’t notice the whale sounds until I was editing, Ningyo sailing with us saw them there at the reef
so peaceful to hear the whales under water. their calls can be heard upto 6 miles away. keep up the awesome work guys!
One of the finest sailing blogs on you tube!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Another great video. Always good sailing! All the best to you both.
Thx! I see you’re enjoying yourselves as well..
The Whitsundays are a fantastic playground. About seven years ago my family and me spent five days on a Leopard 40. It is important though to consider sharks and even crocks. There have been some very sad occasions around Cid harbour.
We saw Ningyo in the Cairns marina a couple of weeks ago. Outremer 45 looks awesome in real life. Corals are slower growing in the colder Southern Queensland waters and can take a decade to recover from cyclone damage. Corals grow faster, bigger and healthier the further north you go and the warmer the water gets. Raja Ampat has the best reefs in the world
The visibility under water seems to be very different depending on where you go as well
@@CatGreatcircle Strong winds today, 35 knots. Poor visibility. Better to get a car and see the rainforest 😁
So good as usual
and my backyard and places i have sailed
Hope you are enjoying Aus
We have enjoyed it a lot! Cleared for Indonesia in the meantime…
I am in awe of your adventures and you have become my Fav Channel to watch. I love how everything is "an adventure" or "exciting" and never a drama. I was waiting for comments on Australian Quarantine (its embarrassing and overbearing) and prices (everything here is so expensive). Hamilton Island Marina is indeed a rip off, and if the club was open (its never been open when we have been there recently), it would have fleeced you a few more hundred $$$ and provided little value. As Europeans you would have been lucky enough to have enjoyed a 35% discount due to the EU/AUD exchange rate. Imagine paying for that as an Australian Citizen with Dollars earnt and taxed in Australia.
Buoy knocking hull is a hassle in Whitsundays. Would love to hear from more experienced Whitsundays boaters best way to deal with Marine Park buoy’s.
As I watch this I’m literally swinging into the same blue mooring at Stonehaven bay. Tried to tie the eye if the mooring directly to the cleat to shorten and no, it still bangs on the hull. Grrrrrrr
Tried that too, wonder if someone has a better solution
@@CatGreatcircle When we did a bareboat charter there in 2003 on a 40 ft monohull I was nearly driven mad by the bouys banging on the hull at night, so eventually managed to drag the entire bouy onboard.
🤣
👍
Wat een mooie video. En wat is de drone toch geweldig om de omgeving te laten zien: grote vissen, vogels en zelfs als hulp bij het navigeren tussen obstakels. 👍👍👌👌
Another useful video thanks, I hope to get there at the end of this season. I'm wondering what guide book you are using for the east coast of Australia?
😃👍👍👍❤
Very nice video as always !!
What is the arrangement you have with outremer regarding the images you provide them ? Is it a contract ? Are you making money for every photo/video you take for them ?
Cheers and safe travel !
GLY makes their own pictures and videos, their media team actually made a very nice one when they were on board of Greatcircle in New Caledonia and Vanuatu : czcams.com/video/ommNJk-pzkw/video.html
Sometimes I share pictures with Outremer and/or GLY as well. We’re not making money with our videos and photos so no contract needed
Hey M&M. Great pictures. But please, please. … change the music. 😂 I always get depressive when I listen to it. You are living a happy live. Play happy music! See you on the water or in LGM
It’s supposed to be calming Peter. You’ll be more open for it in your next phase in life 🤣🙈
See ya indeed!
@@CatGreatcircle 🤣 Might be calming if you are stressed. But hey - you know me!!! For me it appears different. Have fun and enjoy Indonesia. 🏖🌊🌈
😃👍👍👍❤
