Setting Sail in the Whitsundays
Midnight, and the stars shone dim and without conviction, foggy through the blanket of clouds. There were none of the diamond shards which usually litter the tropical sky, and the Southern Cross was nowhere to be seen. But sparks blinked in the dark water below the hull: phosphorescent plankton reflecting the night sky, as if the stars had been dropped into the ocean. Flashes of lightning played around the anchor chain as the boat rolled gently in the waves.
We were anchored off Dunbell island, and it was the start of our sailing adventure.
In the sky high above our heads, the clouds thickened.
