Good Day

When I walk to work in the morning I usually listen to my MP3-player. Usually I
will be listening to a live concert with Counting Crows, or good ol' Bon Jovi.
This morning was no different. As I was walking along a frightened a little
wallaby (small kangaroo) that was having breakfast in the bushes next to my
neighbors house.
They just make me smile. usually they are only out and about after dark, but
this one was a bit more bold. I saw another one on my way home not so far away.
I think it was the same one. This time I stopped and tried to talk to it, and it
was intrigued for a little bit. after a minute or two it skipped off into the
forest.

Today was a good day. I got to work at about nine in the morning, two hours
later than usual. I started late because we only had an afternoon trip and not
the usual full day trip. We can thank the weather for that. it has been kind of bad lately.
This morning I started in the pool with two introdivers before we went out on the halfday trip

The last week we've had lots of rain. And I mean real rain. this is the tropics and when it rains it
really rains for sure. You can't walk more than a couple of meters before you
are totally soaked.

We have also had South East winds between 20 to 35 knots the last week. That has
prevented us from going out to The Great Barrier Reef and Bait Reef more
precise. The boat could handle it for sure, but the people on board would
probably not enjoy it too much. three hours boatride with waves between two to
four meters is not a joke. especially if you're a tourist and you want to have a
relaxing vacation.

We have therefore just stayed around the Whitsunday Islands for the last week.
which is just fine. The visibility is usually between five to ten meters, but
the last week it has been less than three meters. very much like home except for
the corals, the tropical fish and the turtles. 😛
Yesterday we also had some dolphins play around the boat. I didn't see them
because I was diving with some sertified divers, but I'll catch up with them
some other time.

This is The Reef Spirit. The big dive boat that we use on the fullday
trips or trips with more than 15 passengers.

when I got home and took care of my laundry I found a really big centipede
hiding under one of my socks. it was cool. If I could I would send it to my
brother Björn, cause he would really get a kick out of it.

 
Today we went out with Wild Dream. it packs two 150 horsepower outboarders and is a pretty fast going vessel.

 My eye is almost back to normal again. I only have a little bruise left and the cut has healed properly.
