AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH ain't that nice
This was our farewell committee at Exmouth although I must admit the father was getting a touch cranky with me getting close for the pic LOL.
DUMPED
Well after an uneventful trip down the highway we arrived at Coral bay and it is just stunning. We managed to score a site really close to the beach so all we had to do was get D'Luded off the top of RT and wheel her down to the beach. That said, the only down side of the site is we don't have power, but we have 5 bars of internet signal, lets hope the battery lasts LOL.
Off we headed into the most beautiful clear water with one of the worlds great reefs underneath, oh this is going to be fun. We sailed out about half way into the bay where the reef is quite shallow and we could lean over the side with goggles on and watch as we cruised by - bliss. SPLASH - hit by a rogue wave side-on, capsized, all hands in the water, shoes floating away, specs gone, fins drifting into the wide blue yonder and his "Blue" crocs gone, not even time for an SOS let alone a quartet playing "Nearer my God to Thee". How embarrassing, and the glass bottom boat had just gone past so they would have had a good laugh. With what was left of our dignity we managed to recover the fins and goggles but sandals, glasses, crocs are forever in the possession of Neptune. LOL It's still a great place, back out again tomorrow.
