Friday 8th July
Yesterday we awoke to a beautiful day. A light breeze and clear water (10m visibility). After breakfast Toni and Jack were in the water exploring the bommies scattered around Imagine. One was packed with fish the next beautiful coral and the next even better.
After lunch we all took the dinghy to the inner edge of the reef. This time Jack took the speargun, but didn’t get anything. The tide was coming in and the waves were crashing over the reef stirring up the water which dropped the visibility down to 2m.
That evening we had to put up with another stunning sunset.
This morning the wind had got up making the water choppy with only 5m visibility. Sue and Andrew ventured into the water to check out some more bommies close to Imagine. With the wind getting up and going to be higher tomorrow, we decided to leave the reef after lunch.
With the main reefed we had a nice sail back to Butterfly Bay averaging 6knts all the way. We will stay here tonight and go back to Airlie in the morning.
