Kimberley Expedition: Day 6 (Sunrise)

17 April 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

A very early but spectacular start to the day!

After a “tide-you-over-for-now” continental breakfast, we were off in the Xplorer at 6:30a for a sunrise cruise that took us from Prince Fredrick Harbour into Hunter River.

It was lovely … with cool temps. And amazing color. One of the interesting things was the difference in the colors looking east versus west.

The apple and kapok mangroves silhouetted against the orange hued sky made for some spectacular photos. I expected the escarpments around us to glow with the rising of the sun. The color indeed deepened to a reddish-orange, but the glow was missing. Beautiful and special nonetheless.

We returned to Coral Discoverer around 7:30a to find the usual sit-down breakfast awaiting us hungry explorers.Baca lagi
