After a good breakfast we sailed further through the island group and moored just off Langford Sand Cay for some more snorkeling. Donning the stinger suits again we headed into the amazingly clear water and quickly came face to face with a beautiful turtle.
I followed it at a distance through the shallows for a while before it swam off into deeper waters.
We had lunch back on board before sailing on to the famous Whitehaven Beach after which our boat was named. As the name might suggest the beach is a gorgeous fine white sand beach lapped by unbelievably clear turquoise waters. We spent a relaxed few hours in the sunshine before sailing off to find somewhere to moor for the night.
Under another clear night sky we relaxed and watched the big bat fish that swam around the boat.
The next morning we left our mooring and sailed back to Airlie Beach making the most of the sunshine along the way.
