We boarded the Solway Lass tallship ready for a 3 day/3 night sailing adventure through the Whitsunday Islands! She was a beautiful ship that was built in 1902 in Holland and also worked in both World Wars. It was eventually sold to Sydney Harbour as a floating restaurant where it was restored and then finally purchased by Southern Cross Sailing Adventures where it now works in the Whitsunday Islands via Airlie Beach.

Not much was done the first night we set sail. It was 7 o'clock by the time we boarded so we mingled with our fellow ship-mates and got our eyes adjusted to the darkness. We finally set anchor around 10 pm in the passage between Whitsunday Island and Hook Island. We couldn't really see much because it was so dark so we just went to bed in our cabin below the ship deck.
