The procedure was done directly on a computer in a pre-filled form. I just had to indicate the amount of alcohol I wanted to buy, I took a goon ( really cheap local wine but not really good), and validated the whole.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the cruise, I checked out of the backpacker, deposited my big backpack in the local agency of Peter Pan and went to the marina to board the magnificent ship on which we will sail for 3 days. 30 people were part of the cruise, mostly young Europeans include 8 French people and a family from Perth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_210\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skisoo.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/DSCN4784.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210\" class=\"size-large wp-image-210\" title=\"The marina\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4784-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The marina\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4784-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4784-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The marina<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since the boat is not directly in the Marina, we took a dinghy to reach the boat. In order to adhere to the speed limit and maneuverability, the ship was leaving port marina using its motors.<br \/>\nOnce off, the sails were unfurled, the crew made us share the cranks handled by two people at once. The sailboat was gaining momentum really quickly and tilted to 45 \u00b0. Pretty impressive at first! After few hours sailing, we stopped in the passage of Hook for the night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_211\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skisoo.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/DSCN4812.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"size-large wp-image-211\" title=\"Sails out\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4812-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Sails out\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4812-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4812-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sails out<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_213\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skisoo.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/DSCN4810.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"size-large wp-image-213\" title=\"While leaving Airlie Beach\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4810-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"While leaving Airlie Beach\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4810-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4810-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">While leaving Airlie Beach<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_214\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skisoo.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/DSCN4915.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"size-large wp-image-214\" title=\"Inside of the boat\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4915-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Inside of the boat\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4915-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img1.skisoo.com\/2012\/03\/DSCN4915-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside of the boat<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tour: <a title=\"MAXI RACING YACHTS 2 day 2 night Whitsundays Sailing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterpans.com.au\/backpacking-holidays-australia\/maxi-racing-yachts-2-day-2-night-whitsundays-sailing\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.peterpans.com.au\/backpacking-holidays-australia\/maxi-racing-yachts-2-day-2-night-whitsundays-sailing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day before \u00a0I arrived in Airlie Beach with the night bus, I have been to the cruise company to confirm my booking.
