Waking Up in Sawmill Bay (Cid Harbour, Whitsunday Island, Queensland, Australia)

Sawmill Bay turned out to be quite a beautiful place to wake up. The peaks and valleys of the hills, along with many of the area’s pine trees, were accentuated by the sun’s first light. In the cool morning air, it was very easy to forget that we were in the tropics and not on an alpine lake! Below, a couple of photo panoramas . . .

It would be easy to linger here, but with some time to kill, we figured we should check out some anchorages nearby.

Cid Island, just outside the harbor, had a west-facing anchorage. We had also passed a pretty little island, Henning Island, as we motored up this way, and Rich had been intrigued by an area called the Gulnare Inlet. Below is a map showing these places.

We decided to go take a look at these options and see what called to us. –Cyndi
