Last week we had our first ever catamaran experience, John, from Portlands Roads had heard we’d never sailed aboard a catamaran but luckily he one spare so we jumped onto Whitsunday Freedom, a Lagoon 450, with another salty sailor Oliwia and all together we headed for the islands. Eager to fit as much in as possible, you will find us at yet another anchorage in the Whitsundays, Blue Pearl bay, diving into more activities, before we set sail towards another island where we hike what we think, is the best walk we’ve ever done. Now for the big question, do we see ourselves getting a catamaran of our own?
