A day out and about

How good is this? Own motorboat, 80 or so islands to explore and 2 days to do it. And we have a babysitter for Kieran too. (18AUD for 13 hours of babysitting) The weather is absolutely perfect, we've got cold beers, a full tank. Just look at the surface of the water. In the early morning we blast to the outer reef.

Most of the islands here are uninhabited; we find our own and swim to the beach. We see coconuts with big holes in them; the coconut crabs have been working hard last night. The beach is stunning, more beautiful than you'd see on postcards.

We swim into the mariners cave, a cave that is only accessible by an underwater passage. When a big wave pushes the water in the opening and thus heightens the pressure inside the cave, the air becomes thick with condensation. Instant Mist!

We do a bit of trolling. I did get a bite from something but my 25 pound line didn't stand a chance. Zzzzzzzz, plink! gone. :o(. Judging by the power, I reckon it was something that weighed more than 100kgs.
