Today we got up at 6.30am and had some breakfast. Then the skipper turned on the engines and we started moving. It was very windy and rough on the boat. Gina and I were both sick. It was a mixture of the goon we drank last night and the rough sea that made us ill. We stopped for a short while for people that wanted to do snorkelling. The water wasn't very clear as the sea was rough so no one could see much coral. We did some real sailing and had to sit on the edge of the boat again with our feet dangling over the water. The waves were huge. We sailed back to the Shute Harbour in Airlie Beach for 11am. There is a after party happening at the Beaches hostel tonight for everyone but we are leaving on the Greyhound bus tonight so we won't be able to make it. We walked to Magnums hostel and had a shower as we weren't allowed to have a shower on the boat due to lack of water. It was horrible not having a shower for 3 days. It felt so good to be clean again. At the shower block we saw Thomas again. He had just got off one of the Whitsundays sailing boats. It was nice to see him again and chat with him for a bit. Afterwards we got some lunch and went on the internet to kill some time in the afternoon. We are just waiting around until its time to catch our Greyhound bus. I still feel like I am on the Mandrake sailing boat rocking from side to side as everything seems to feel like its moving. Hopefully it will go away soon. At 5pm we went back to the hostel and collected our bags out of storage. We went to get some snacks for the journey and then walked to the bus shelter. Our Greyhound bus was supposed to come at 6.10pm but it was 40 minutes late. When it finally arrived we put our bags on and left for Hervey Bay at 7pm.
