Day 12
Exmouth
March 29 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
An early start!
Onto Explorer for short journey to Exmouth (pop 4,500) then a big coach to take in Cape Vlaming lighthouse (1912 with lens made by Chance Bros of Smethick). Then on Myerling centre for cake and some retail therapy.
This was followed by a visit to Turquoise Bay where snorkelling was excellent. Some difficulty getting the coach out of the car park as it was absolutely heaving being Easter Saturday. Some brilliant reversing by Stefan got us clear in the end. A very short lunch and some of us were heading back to Exmouth for a trip to the Aquarium with seahorses and hermit crabs and some lizards then a short visit to the craft Froth brewery for a quick one. It just so happened that the footie was on Tv.
Return to the ship was closely followed by drinks and a bbq on the 7th sun deck as the sun set. Magical!!Read more
Traveler Happy Easter!🐣

Day 8
Batavia wreck site
March 25 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Beautiful sunrise
Morning Explorer trip to Morning reef where Batavia ran aground on 4 June 1629
Pretty choppy so abandoned thoughts of a snorkel there
Instead headed to Long Island and found a sheltered cove with a sea lion and extensive colourful reef with many many fish of different sizes and colours
Lunch of chicken Caesar salad, or salmon poke, carrot cake and fruit
Early afternoon off to Beacon Island where Cornelius set up, while dispersing other wreck survivors to neighbouring islands
Went for a snorkel although the visibility wasn’t great and short walk where we saw 2 sea lions and reef heron
16.30 set sail for Shark Bay in glorious sunshine
Evening cocktails on the Bridge Lounge deck, followed by Recap/Precap talk by Wayne (who had a bit of a day) then excellent dinner of soup/ lamb or barramundi/ sticky date desert with ice cream
The full moon rose at 18.58 just after sunset - a spectacular sight at sea
Stars on deck 7 clear but spoilt by ambient ship’s lightsRead more
