Australia, Friday, July 20, 2012; Headed to the Great Barrier Reef

We were picked up at our hotel (the Lazy Lizard Inn which has 22 studio units) at 7:50 AM for our day snorkeling the reef with a company called Wavelength. This is the same group we used 10 years ago and that I used 15 years ago . They only take 30 individuals and treat you extremely well. Here is our boat, a welcoming swallow that hitched a ride for a bit and Tyler standing at the front. It was pretty windy going out with seas in the 6 foot range. A fair number got sea sick. One poor guy was sick the entire time and just laid on the seat the whole trip. On the way back in the seas were a bit rougher and by the end, I wasn’t feeling so good, but made it without having to use their sea sick bags.
