Day 16 - Great Barrier Reef

We went on a 60 foot catamaran out to Low Island. It's the third one down on this dock with the gray sail cover.
We got out to the island, which is less than halfway out to the outer reef. And it gave Patrice a chance to get off the boat and out to the island and snorkel in shallower waters. They supplied lycra full body suits to prevent dangerous and painful jellyfish stings.
Meanwhile, on the way back they raised the sails with electric winchs and let me ham-it-up at the wheel.  Believe me, the boat was on electronic auto-pilot  at the time
