The Great Barrier Reef - that means calm waters, clear-blue skies, fish nibbling your ankles right?! Well WRONG WRONG WRONG here today. Thank God we are good sailors in a having strong stomachs kind of a way, not fiddling about in the rigging. I have never been on such a rough sea crossing. It was like 'The Perfect Storm' all over again, only not so perfect for us. And 1 1/2 hours each way ...bit of a nightmare really. Poor Robert was all geared up to go snorkelling (well he hadn't quite got into his latex suit but you know what I'm saying here) and then they stopped anyone going out because it was so rough. I was quite relieved actually, because it looked pretty damn scary from where I was standing. Scuba diving looked like the best option, so Martin Groves you'd better pass on your expertise when we get home. You would have loved it here.
Sydney tomorrow. And guess what? They're forecasting storms - fan-bleeding-tastic!
Really really missing you all now.
