Colourful Cateran Bay

If you check out our trip map here, and zoom way, way in over the Whitsunday Islands, you'll see that we have stopped in Cateran Bay (on the north side of Border Island) three times so far (if you can make any of it out at all, that is...we have been doing circles of the place, and its looking like a big scribble until you zoom right in). We started out snorkelling at Cateran Bay, but on the last stop we threw in the Power Dive unit and wow...we had a ball! The Powerdive doover is proving to be worth its weight in gold.

Apologies up front...this is another picture heavy post...

We'll definitely go back there again. It is a really lovely place, and apart from one encounter with a cranky cruiser who didn't know how to use his anchor (and was taking his frustrations out on us)...we have enjoyed every minute we've spent there.

It is a tad windy out here on Hook Reef today, so we've had the stereo cranked up and while the kids have been 'dancing' in the cockpit, Nick has been pulling apart our Harken winches...as you do while you are sitting out the wind behind a reef....and I've been photo editing.
