After a few days on our own we now have a full boat again. Sally has joined us for the return voyage to Brisbane and Lydia has returned from visiting her parents.
Sally joined us Friday afternoon and Lydia arrived back Saturday morning. As soon as Lydia was on board we set off. There is a three day weather window alowing us to spend some more time out on the Barrier Reef.
Evening was approaching by the time we got to the reef. We were greeted by a number of whales swimming parallel to us all the way to the shallows of Hook Reef. With Andrew up the mast he guided us through the bommies to anchored where we had before.
