Sailing Update
I spoke to the people today and got a bit of advice and found out what is needed to book. If we book for mid Feb we can have our choice at the moment, we can get the 10 nights for the price of 7 and a 5% discount because I have sailed with them before (as long as it is not school holidays). I had bit of a natter about the different boats and the Conquest 40 (http://www.whitsundayescape.com/sailingCats/conquest40.htm) def sounds like the best option. It sleeps upto 12 comfortably and is a good sailor with some extra comforts. Spa, Big BBQ, large fridge, rubber dingie with motor, good engine size, shallow draft, perfect boat. That would be $6150 for the 10 nights. So paying safe 10 people $615 each - $61 a night to sit in 5 star accom, in the prettiest place with me, the prettiest person. BARGAIN

For a rough idea of the full costs
per person (Group)
$615 - boat (6150)
$250 - flights (2500)
$175 - food (1750)
$150 - booze (1500)
$25 - worst case fuel for the boat (max 250)
$25 - Taxi to and from airport ($100 per ride)

$1240 for 11 days 10 nights. There should be no other costs.

Addition things:
*The boat comes with snorkling gear, you can rent scuba if you want.
*Staying at the islands (eg Hamilton) overnight is $80 for the boat ($8 each) but that gives you use of the island and facilities (pools, bars etc)
*Fuck, come on, this is going to be the best holiday ever!

To Plan:
1) Dates
2) No. Days
3) Boat
4) Shopping list/Menu
5) Any particular islands /stops you want to make.

SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!
