Day 5
Checked onto our sailing boat the Frieght Train for our 12.30 departure. Spent the whole day sailing, sat on the deck in the sun, which was pretty boring, but there was some nice scenery to keep it that little bit entertaining. Saw some dolphins too which was pretty cool. Slept in a tiny tiny bed in the hot cabin that night which wasn't very comfortable.....
Day 6
Got up early to do our skuba dive. Went through all the basics and then got in the water to practice, went in groups of 4 so we all went together and Amey came with us cause she's qualified. The actual coral wasn't as nice as fiji...there wasn't much of it, and what there was was brown! The actual diving tho was good and learning that was good fun...was wierd breathing underwater and I had to keep blowing to try and pop my ears cause of the pressure. Headed out to whitehaven after that which is the famous beach here. Anchored up off shore and swam to the beach. The sand is really fine silica so was unusual, it felt like flour to walk on. Had a play in the sea there then swam back to the boat for lunch. Had some goon at night and played a few drinking games then slept on deck which was way cooler than the previous night.
Day 7
6am start with a quick swim in the sea which was very refreshing. Had some rain so stayed in the cabin with the iPod for the 3 hour trip back to Airlie. We're all tired and drained after being in the sun for 2 days ( I have a nice golden tan now) so finding the premiership footy on the TV in our hostel was a treat. Watched the Man U and the Liverpool games in between snoozing, had lunch, then watched Aussie Idol just. Just been for a Domino's for tea now heading back to bed.
Leave tomorrow @ 7 onto Kroombit which is a cattle station in the middle of nowhere....
