By Grace: Tonight we will be under sail again.
NOOOOOO!! Right now Mum and Dad are making breakfast. Bacon and Eggs
YUUUUUM!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday we got a free bottle of red wine from the HUGE
stink boat about half a mile away. The reason for it is that a helicopter landed
on the back of the huge boat. The owner who owns a vinyard in SA sent over his
minions in their super flash dinghy to apologise for the noise. Dad said it was
the afternoon's entertainment. After that Allan caught a Sweetlip Red Emporer
and we ate it for dinner. We went swimming yesterday and we were wearing bright
green zink. Allan is trying to grow a beard so the zink is still in his growth.
We dared him to keep his beard for as long as he can.
By Allan; my ship mates are the best a man could
travel with and conditions ie weather etc are just spot on. We arrived at
Bugatti reef yesterday and it is just beautiful.I caught half of dinner and
landed a small shark as well.Today we travel overnight to The Diamond Isles in
the Coral Sea ...our first true overnighter.
Wind ESE 18 knots Sea a bit lumpy but all are
enjoying the ride (with medication). Until tomorrow...
