Port Douglas to Low Isles

At the marina they issued us with our boarding passes for the catamaran. Here a guide is giving us a briefing on dos and don'ts for the trip as we motored out of the marina.

The channel leads out to the open sea and we passed resorts and restaurants as we left.

Finally we were in the open sea and the crew hoisted the sails so that we would make the crossing to the Low Isles on wind power. It would take over an hour to get there.

As you can see the weather was gloomy and it rained sporadically. Here you see the peaks of the Daintree National Park.
