Today we arrived at Airlie Beach on a warm, humid day with the sun reflecting on the water making it glisten.
We met up with our friends, Jan and Ray and set off to enjoy the Boat Show at the marina at Abel Point.
The boats were fascinating!
Skin went on board a sleek vessel and started to talk to the captain.
The boat was rockin' and rollin' like some of the old cassettes I've been playing in the rig.
Skin started to look a little green, a bit like an like an unripe banana.
He hung over the side of the boat.......
Looking very unwell!
suddenly...........
HE FELL OVERBOARD, STRAIGHT INTO THE JAWS OF A SALT WATER.........
CROCODILE..........
You can see my fingers trying to grab him but I was not quick enough!
I leant over and gave the croc a little tap on the nose and pleaded with him to let my friend go.
He instantly spat him out into the sea.
( Fortunately for Skin,I don't think crocodiles like bananas.)
Skin sank down into the depths below.......
A school of fish came to have a look at this tiny, little sinking banana.
Just before one of them decided to take a bite,
two navy cadets threw him a lifeline and pulled him up to safety.
PHEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After two near death experiences at the Boat Show, I thought it was time to go back to the caravan park.
To celebrate the SURVIVAL OF SKIN AGAIN! ( TWICE!), we called in at the Village Cafe in Airlie Beach and had a snack.
Thank you Jo, Rowena and Nicole for the best Rissotto I have ever tasted. We hope you remember us when you return to 'cold 'England!
We are staying in Airlie Beach for a week.......
What will happen tomorrow?
