Thursday 16th September.
When we awoke this morning we had no idea we were in the presence of an accomplished artist. We had a leisurely start to the day. Late morning we headed to Langford Reef to find the last under water sculpture in the series.
There were no moorings available by the time we got there so Sue and Lydia did a man overboard as we passed close to where we thought the sculpture was. Sally and Andrew circled the reef while the others went exploring.
Lydia found the Anthozoa sculpture which was too deep for Sue to dive to (7m deep). Not far away was the Turtle we had found previously. This meant we had found all five sculptures.
To complete the man overboard procedure Lydia and Sue swam back out past the line of moored boats. Andrew and Sally then brought Imagine up to them, much to the amazement of the people onboard the moored boats only metres away. Then it was just a matter of the girls climbing onboard via the rear ladder.
With all aboard we set off for Airlie Beach. As we approached Airlie and internet signal all the emails started pouring in. One of Lydia’s emails was to notify her that one of her paintings that was showing in a gallery had been sold. Now she won’t even give us her autograph. She doesn’t think she is able to pull on the ropes any more as it may damage her delicate hands.
Thats what she thinks!!
