Day 3: The wind has got up a little, but the weather is still fab! Cookie moved the boat to another cove last night, so we wake up with a suprise of new scenery. The night before we all got into a huge game of "uno" on the deck and so the atmosphere is almost familial this morning.

Today diving and snorkeling again, but this time on Langford reef. As Roxanne and i descend, only 8.4m shallow compared to Bali, the corals loom up around us, they are bigger this time. She points to a crevass, there is large oyster-like shell, it's wrinkled lips are lined with a jet blue flesh and as i look nearer i see it's eye staring up at us, i almost forgot to breath. I pass my hand near it and the blue flesh retreats back into the shell. Next are the "lover" fish, or "looser" fish as others say, who always live in pairs, if one happens to die the other will too. We also met angel fish, napoleons, bat fish, anenimi fish, mackeral, sweet lips and many other....You truely realize that the coral is alive when you pass your hand near and little flowers, that look like algue, retreat into the reef or when on clicking your fingers fish appear from within the coral where they eat to look at you drift past. It's an amazing feeling to drift...

We have made some good friends on Summertime, not only the crew members but an english couple, Maddy and George (real cockney accents "Geeeoooorgee!") and Hannah (yet another bloody british) traveling on her own and had us cracking up in laughter.

--George & Maddy--


We asked to stay longer out at sea, but Cookie revealed that he was short on underwear... the captain has spoken!




The End
