Lucas diary
Today was fun. I woke up and had breakfast than I did my diary. Just a bit of it, since we went to Manta Ray watching. Mum, Dad and I jump in the dinghy and we went off. We saw two mantas, one was huge and had more scars (possible older) and the other one was small and it was my favourite. We swan with the big one for ages and then we got out and went snorkelling in another reef before we went back to the boat. We had lunch and after Dad and I got the fishing gear out and into the dinghy. We went fishing and when we went pass a small reef we caught a fish, a Jack. We pulled in the lines and at the last moment I had a fish right behind my lure. We were already pulling in a fish so I speed up and didn't let it get it, or else, we could have a bit of trouble. We trolled a bit more and then Dad got a shark. We finally got it close enough and we could let it go. After that we headed back to shore to clean the fish. There was a bunch of cruising people on shore so we talked about a lot of stuff. When everybody left we cleaned the fish at the other side of the island and there was a shark frenzy at the pool. We had an amazing fish for dinner.
