Our first manta ray...
21 July 2002 | Cape Wessel, North coastof Australia

The water was idyllic, the temperature hot, we all wanted a swim and we seriously contemplated it. But the warnings of the large 'salties' (seawater crocodiles) prevailed. Heading back to the yacht we saw a large one meandering across the bay. I was too slow with the camera for a photo however soon after we had this, our first encounter with a manta ray. It came back to us several times before getting bored with us. If we hadn't seen the large crocodile we would have been temped to get in and swim with the manta.
The Cod Hole

Due to the high winds we had a hard time getting out to the barrier reef and spending the time we had hope for diving it. However, we had one opportunity and Dan & Liz joined us and we went out form Lizard Island and had a good dive on the reef. The Cod Hole is a place where the dive tours go and they seem to have tamed the cod. Giant cod come right up to you expecting to be fed. It was a great experience. Dan was the keen one who got up our main mast for this photo.
Great sailing...

With the strong south east trade winds and flat seas there was no stopping us..
