Today,Thursday 12th June, our 72nd day on the road, and halfway through our amazing journey, we sailed with the Voyager to some far away islands in the Whitsundays.
At first the weather was WILD.........and Skin felt a little seasick.
I stood at the bow of the boat and pretended to be the heroine in the film,'TITANIC!'
I must have had some cosmic effect on the weather, because very soon the sun came out and we all felt much better.
We walked to the far side of Hook Island and snorkelled around one of the crew who was in a boat feeding the fish with bread.
Here is a picture of me in a wet suit with my georgeous friend Jan just before we took the PLUNGE!
I didn't take any photos of the amazing fish we saw because I was in an underwater world where time stood still.
We touched schools of fish that swam around us like dropped confetti.
It was like being in a dream.
Skin was on the shore dreaming about floating in blue, blue water.
After Hook Island, the Voyager took us all to Whitehaven Beach where the sand is so pure, soft and incredibly white that you feel as though you are walking on soft carpet. Jan cleaned her gold necklace and bracelet by rubbing them in the tiny grains of sand.
Skin sat and watched the people climbing down the steps of the Voyager, into the water to get to the beach.
After a relaxing hour in the sun, off we sailed again to Daydream Island.
Skin dreamed he was being held in the fin of a large, orange fish.
Then he dreamed an enormous crocodile had picked him up in his claws...
AND........PUT HIM IN HIS MOUTH!
When he woke up he was shaking, so we calmed him down and told him that he could drive the boat home.
Clay showed him how to use the instruments and let him navigate the Voyager safely back to Abel Point.
We would like to thank all the crew , Clay, Nathan, Steve, Lem and Cassey for a spectacular day,
AND OUR WONDERFUL NEW FRIENDS, JAN AND RAY FOR 'LAUGHTER IN THE FAST LANE!"
GOODBYE AIRLIE BEACH.........
We have treasured memories of our week with you!
