On day three for Hamilton Island Race Week, all of the 233 yachts were sent in different directions on a "tour" of the Whitsundays for their longest race of the series.

I was in amongst the action with the maxis and other big boats in big breeze and big waves for their start.

What a great way to spend a Tuesday, or any day! In the Whitsundays, with wind, waves, sun and some serious boat porn.
