There is nothing quite like a beautiful Sunday, with the sun shining and that cool breeze that just screams Spring is in but Summer is coming… I spent a recent Sunday on a stunning 50ft yacht, cruised up to Moreton Island for the day. Sunning on the front deck, jumping off the boat into water that you cant predict the temperature of. It gives you a sudden rush and burst of adrenalin that, I personally couldn’t compare to sky-diving, but none the less extremely exciting and invigorating. An absolutely gorgeous day in the sun, ahhh life is tough!
