Low Isles: Yeah Baby!

A whole new meaning to the Blue Man Group!

The awesomeness of today still astounds me. We spent a lovely day at the Low Isles, one of the reefs (1/2900) in the Great Barrier Reef system. We boarded the ship at Port Douglas at the marina (where I bought a lovely black sundress!!!). There were also other tourists on the boat, but we definitely dominated. We got off on this tiny little island at around 11:30am, where we promptly began snorkeling. The water was 27 degrees celsius and we had to wear the totally amazing lycra suits to protect us from the jellies (I REALLY want a full-body lycra suit now)! The water was great and I got to swim with some green turtles. We reboarded the vessel at 1:30 for lunch and sunbathing while we boated around the island for some more snorkeling. This was also awesome, because I saw lots of humongous tridacnae (clams) and a blue-spotted sting ray! Plus, the water was WARM!!! 3:30pm we head back, sunbathing and listening to one of the crew play songs on the guitar. Oh, what a wonderful day it was!

-Over and Out, mes amis!
