In this episode we hark back to our Honeymoon where we explore some of our favourite spots in the Whitsunday Islands post Tropical Cyclone Debbie. With wide spread destruction on the mainland of Airlie Beach only a month prior, we were eager to see how the islands and the beautiful reef systems that we had previously explored, had fared. Join us as we discover wrecks, sail the islands and enjoy a week of wedded bliss in nature...

We are an adventurous couple who live an alternative life - a life at sea. We feel better connected when we are sailing. We live simpler and have less impact on the environment. We take the time to immerse ourselves in different cultures, meet amazing people and experience what the oceans and our planet have to offer.

So come aboard and follow our adventures as we sail and explore our beautiful planet!

you can go for a salad you know last

episode we shared our tips on how to

make your cruising dollar go further

after spending a beautiful few days with

close friends and families celebrating

our wedding we thought we'd go and check

out some of the Bey's we'd previously

been to and see what had happened post

cyclone Debbie

that's my husband that guy he's amazing

I'd like to introduce you to my husband

you know

ha

thank you my darling

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so we're in Nara Inlet and this is the

first time we've come out to some of

these outer base since the cyclone

Debbie passed through and we've been

finding all sorts of boats

upon the heart so to speak miss poor

worm here seems to be trapped in the

corner looks like a steely anyway we'll

go and take a look

not something you see very often

hopefully they can get it back

I'll just park right up there

poro thing

anyway someone's been on board so

hopefully they'll be able to get her out

of here sometime when the next big tides

come in

looks like she's pretty much parked in

there

but she's still got a mast

still got most of it rigging up

there may be hope yet

I guess if you're gonna be high and dry

this is a beautiful spot to be if you

look at it that way

gorgeous here

love all the rock formations

magic

you never used to be able to see any of

these cats before because of all the the

vegetation but because the Cyclones

whipped it all away it can now see a

cave where the Aboriginal people used to

hang out

beautiful little waterfall at the end of

Nara Inlet

how wonderful look at it

beautiful

another victim of cyclone Debbie

this one might be a little hard to say

you're like my attendant there is

nothing yeah

and why not they're quite cozy I'll

protect it okay great place to have a

shower

need a shower when you come in today

that looks beautiful is this gonna be a

lovely place to sit

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

beautiful my honey

beautiful 15 to 20 no fighting no I Stan

Winston out hitting a better flow if I

have a little bit of an explore around

there after the coral damage you're in

so we don't just get of a tribe around

there and see what we can falling

run a little refill Toya later on

[Music]

and yet there's my husband he's amazing

he looks pretty happy too look at these

amazing rock formations that's a slight

clone debbie has revealed I reckon it'll

be an incredible trip to come out here

sailing say hello go climbing sail back

that'd be great here comes another one

awesome

[Music]

it's so much fun

beautiful

hahaha look at this

this is butterfly Bay it is one of my

favorite Anchorage's in the whitsundays

it's at the top end of Hawk Island out

here it looks at Norwest

whoo that's it there so they looked at

more east

it's a beautiful protected Anchorage

here and it's out basically so when the

trades are in this time of year it's a

wonderful place to camp beautiful as

your waters and lots of lovely coral

reefs to dive around here to check out

the fish life and it's really peaceful a

really nice spot to be so we've actually

come out here after cyclone duty just to

check out what it was like because we

had heard from some people that that the

coral the big coral bommies that were in

here like that were there was one just

behind us had actually been flipped over

with the power of the cyclone so we've

come out to have a little bit of a look

and see how much the bay has changed and

it has actually changed quite a lot

there's some actually over here is a

there's a beach that never used to be

here that's all all that sand has come

up from somewhere and also the beach is

over here are quite a lot larger than

they used to be and also further along

now this way there's actually a whole

coral outcrop here it's changed quite a

lot I think the power of the water

because the Cyclones set out here for

something like 12 to 18 hours

and the power of the water just changed

the whole dynamic the swell that must

have been roaring in here just

incredible so we're going to go have a

sub shortly and see if we can find some

places some good places to snorkel and

then get underwater and check it out so

beautiful day here and butterfly Bay in

the whitsundays day something or other

about honeymoon yipee do they use

morning exercise

look at it pump that thing

[Music]

[Music]

where's your guy

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

all right

how was it you I wasn't you

isn't it interesting the way the tree

took quite a hammering but the little

branches and the little leaves are

starting to grow again

nature's pretty cool

that's my honey up to

[Applause]

Wow

maybe made my husband did

[Applause]

oh it's fresh

so we went for a cruise in the dinghy

before and we found quite a few changes

to the reef actually and I think we saw

a really big clamshell you think you saw

a big clam Sheldon you sitting sitting

at low tide so we're going to go off for

a snorkel fairly shortly and see if we

can get over there and have a look see

what this clam shell really looks like

close-up

[Music]

[Music]

well it was officially the quickest

store call that down and I have ever had

it was freezing

definitely wintertime here in the

whitsundays time to crack out the

wetsuits I'm even going to go and buy a

long one I think probably not really

wouldn't have been to our Kiwi friends

who came to visit us last week but yeah

it's sad to see the coral has taken a

pounding from cyclone Debbie and there's

lots of dead coral air isn't there yeah

doesn't look very good very sad but

we're on a mission to find live healthy

coral will find it somewhere it's

there's gotta be some protected coral

some protected bodies and nice happy

healthy coral somewhere in the

whitsundays we shall find it no Cylon

yes so we're off around the state hope

with Stonehaven baby just having a nice

cup of warm Missy the bays filling up

here at butterfly with lots of tourists

and we're going to take our leave it

should be a nice afternoon for a sail

nice tender nice and fresh
