Great Barrier Reef to Runways - Sailing Far North Queensland | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep.140)

Описание: This week we set sail from Fitzroy Island, leaving the city of Cairns behind as we head north toward the magical Lizard Island — or as we’ve lovingly nicknamed it, Blizzard Island! ❄️⛵

Join our sailing family as we explore vibrant cays, snorkel some of the healthiest coral we’ve seen on the Great Barrier Reef, and enjoy the bliss of tropical living. Mackay Cay absolutely blew us away, and the sailing… was pure magic. ✨

This is what sailing dreams are made of.

📍Route: Fitzroy Island → Cairns → Low Isles -→ Mackay Cay → Hope Islands → Lizard Island (Blizzard Island)
