see-ing as we are out at sea, just had to get up early for a sunrise shot, I was hoping for some magic Moon and venus still in the sky as we bop up and down on the sea, it slowly gets lighter in the sky Evan makes the trip up on deck from a warm bed as well looking south, the passage between Fitzroy Island and the mainland slowly slowly coming out, but small band of cloud on horizon still blocking sun light here she is look at those golden rays, love this light, always short lived, always spectacular Magic :-) I think this is my first sunrise from a boat India on deck as well, wearing my jacket as it is a bit nippy this early with the seabreeze loving how the light is playing on the waves surface would like to do this again ( but on the reef this time )



seabreeze is starting up early again , so we motor back to Fitzroy Island to seek protection from the seabreeze And heading to Shark Fin bay look at those faces, longing for a hot shower I bet but no, let's snorkel before breakfast :-) India, the trooper that she is, is first in hehehe, look at that facial expression, she's awake now :-) despite that, others soon follow after breakfast, a whale was spotted about a kilometer away, so the captain sets course, and slowly motors towards it, to get a better look at it Jacqui spots it

unfortunatly as we slowly and respectfully nudge closer, another fishing boat heading out to the reef went a little too fast too close and scared the whale away.
