With a plan to sail the Whitsundays on a self skippered boat, we decided to belly on up to the bar at the local yacht club in Bowan with the intent of schmoozing our way on board a boat for a quick sailing lesson. It all went according to plan and we managed to divide and conquer.
J and I crewed aboard The Endurance and M and C aboard the vessel, Tied Up. The wind was howling as we set a sail. The crew, skipper, and owner, all cracked one stubby after another to wash down the salty air. After a few hours of jibing, tacking, and clamoring up the sides of the boat in between,The Endurance won the race.
When I mentioned to Paul, the owner, that I was unaware that we were racing, his comment was that if there is another boat in the water, your racing:} Then he cracked open yet another stubby.
As for Bowen...it is a really nice place.
The Endurance.
