I actually feel way better today!

The timing couldn't have been better (if it had to happen).

Never seen print like this on a cigarette before!

Guys are ready for some sailing!!

The British Defender aka Defa

This is the boat where we are going to spend the next three days! It is an old sail racing boat that has sailed around the world and is 70ft long (mine was 26ft for reference and has sailed to Denmark as far as I know)

These winches are huge!!

Sleeping quarters

We're here in the back of the boat!

While reading I over-heard the crew was a bit worried given how many guys there were on the boat (she is talking about us, because other than the aforementioned, there are 4 other guys on the boat, and the rest girls, for a total of 17 passengers plus two crew (the girls talking about the boy situation) and the skipper Zac). But to their delight they now saw us reading and seemed to be way more at ease and said that it would probably still be a good trip.

Amazingly blue water!

Snorkeling

Photo

Throughout the day we did three snorkeling spots. They drove us out in the tender and dropped us off at the first spot, which was called wonderwall and here even the crew wanted to go because it was so rare for them to have the conditions to go.

I did the first spot, skipped the second and did the third. For the second I stayed on the boat that I had for myself. Almost. Cloe was there, one of the crew, she was from England and had gotten stuck here after traveling the coast and not yet having had enough of this job. Which I understand. She said her favourite moment of the day was the sunset.

Empty boat.

Evening

The nachos weren't finished, so we took it upon ourselves to do our best. We maybe came half way...

This is just amazing. This I think is the part about sailing I miss the most. And what I miss when just doing the morning sailing in Sydney. The calm evenings out on the sea...

Seeing things in the dark water

Photo

The side of the boat had these blue lights that attracted fish, or as the sharks would call it: food.

Photo

Then Zac came to us and saw if we wanted to see something awesome. No follow up questions allowed , just a yes or no. So of course we said yes

Can you see it?

Photo

Well, no, not on this photo. It was impossible to catch it. The stars were absolutely dazzling. And what he showed us maybe even more so. At the back of the tender by all the water foaming from the motor, you could see light. Specks, like stars in the water. It was bioluminescent algae!
