As mentioned a couple of days ago, we hoped to get away today and did. We are currently anchored at Goldsmith Island. Other islands in this group include Ingot, Tinsmith and Blacksmith. I beleive I made a snide comment about the early explorers not being very original when they named these islands. I should take back the comment since no one coud come up with original names for this number of islands. Apologies to Captain Cook and all the others. Goldsmith is part of the 100 Magic Miles, we have about 70 ahead of us to complete this part of our adventure. Weather looks lovely tomorrow, so we will head for an anchorage off Airlie Beach. One of the most spectacular sights we saw today were several whales. There was a mom and 5000 pound baby playing a few hundred yards in front as we were sailing, then there was an adult showing off on the port side by breaching within maybe 300 yards. Turning to look behind us there was another mother whale teaching her baby to slap the water with her tail. I decided the only possible way I could be ready for potentially awesome photos was to video the whales, which I did. I have about 25 minutes of video, of which perhaps 2 or 3 minuites are whales. Once I figure out how to either shorten it all down to a 2-3 minuite whale video or turn the better frames into still photos they will be shared. Other than that, this short passage was unexciting; the most difficult thing I had to do was decide whether to put up another sunset photo or the island we are anchored off. More later..............
