We have a lovely trip down the inside of the Barrier Reef, passing many islands. Apparently there are 1500 island in the Reef, an only 11 are inhabited. At one point we passed an area with a lot of sailing boats, and many islands were visible. As we moved along I spotted a few anchorages, and one town with a couple of biggish hotels. I’m guessing these were the Whitsunday Islands. It looked like great sailing, good breezes with rather small waves. All the sailboats I saw were sailing, none motoring. There were motor boats too, but sail predominates.
