Greetings!
Today was the Great Barrier Reef swim. We got up early, packed our backpacks with a towel, long sleeve shirt, sunscreen, wallet, battery for the cell phone (and cord), binoculars, water, hat, extra shirt and underpants, Wearing our swimsuits and carry the car keys in my pocket, we drove to the Port Douglas Wharf and the Calypso Ten. We and thirty others began an all-day adventure sailing from the Rainforest to the Reef.
Fifty-five kilometers later, we were oriented, instructed, clothed, supported, assisted, fed, and generally given an excellent team program to spend an hour at three coral reef locations. The only negatives to the trip were the several hours of a rocking and rolling boat getting out there, the overcast clouds which lessened the colors of the coral and fish, and the clarity with which I have now about how weak my legs and general balance are. Pat swam and walked much better, even with a very sore foot.
