POTW: Swimming with whales

Swimming With Whales

Nov 22, 2018

We have kept our subscription to Canadian Yacht Onboard as we have traveled the South Pacific over the last few years but never thought of submitting anything.  

We are a Canadian family of five cruising in the Pacific on our Stevens 47.  The two older children were 6 and 8 when we started and little Benjamin was born in Mexico while we were preparing the boat to cross the Pacific.  He was four months old at the start of the crossing.  Now we have two teenagers and the little one is almost five!

Please find attached our submission to the POTW from swimming with whales in Tonga and a link to the story:  http://sv-fluenta.blogspot.com/2018/10/swimming-with-whales-and-other-close.html.

Cheers,

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
