Day 2: Snorkelling in the Morning

Interestingly, I had a surprisingly good night of sleep! My theory after K’Gari was that good sleep comes when screen time is minimal. I might have to add two more variables to that hypothesis: meditating while lying down in the front of a boat for large parts of the day + being rocked gently to sleep like an infant by the waves. Now, I just need to figure out how to recreate “being rocked to sleep” on land. 😄

In the morning, after a fruity breakfast, we headed to three snorkel spots. Each had its charm — though the second one was my favourite. There were lots of circular corals, which were stunning to look at. I was happy to see that the reef seemed a lot healthier than what I had seen before on Fitzroy Island or in Vanuatu. Still — there’s always room for improvement.

Snorkelling highlights:
• I saw two turtles — one while still on the motorboat, the other while snorkelling 🐢
• A starfish ⭐
• A sea cucumber
• And a stingray, lying resting on the sandy bottom

You’d better be excited for my copious snorkelling footage! 😄Read more
