Good Reef! It was no Barrier to us!

Unfortunately we were unable to get pictures onto the blog last night, so you'll have to wait until we get to Sydney to see them.
Suffice to say, we had a brilliant time. We took out a yacht to the Great Barrier Reef (Low Isle). Don't worry, Ross wasn't at the helm, we had a small crew and 12 of our closest friends! The sailing was fabulous, pulling in at a desert island with nothing but sand, trees and a lighthouse. We had to get to the shore on a little glass bottom boat, which meant stepping from the yacht onto it in the middle of the ocean. Quite a feat in itself for me, as you can imagine.
Ross went snorkling with a noodle. No, not his lunch, but a foam sausage. Ross says it was a bouyancy aid, but I think it was a sausage.
After we had lunch on the boat, which fortunately we were able to retain despite rolling seas. From the glass bottom boat I was able to see the coral reef and a giant clam, plus several tropical fish. It was amazing.
Hopefully in Sydney we will be able to find another internet facility which allows us to download pictures.

Watch out for what happens when Ross takes to the stage at the Sydney Opera House, and we discover if Sydney Harbour really does have a bridge too far (for Hilary).
