Hello turtle! Dive trip, Spirit of Freedom.

Thu May 2

Spirit of Freedom diving in the Coral Sea, Osprey Reef. Shark feeding!

Tue Apr 30

Went aboard the Spirit of Freedom for a 4 day dive trip into the Coral Sea. It was an amazing way to cap my time out living on the Great Barrier Reef. I will post more underwater shots in a few days. I ended up being sea sick pretty much the entire trip, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying 14 dives in the amazing Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef. Osprey Reef (pictured) was 170 nautical miles from land and as a result I got to see what a coral reef looked like that had limited exposure to human activity. Unforgettable and magnificent.

Australia, you’re definitely spoiling me. On the way home from Agincourt Reef aboard Silver Sonic. 3 awesome dives!

Dinner tonight…

400g Prime Rib and a Johnnie Walker Blue neat. 

Courtesy of a department dinner. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford this for myself. Until then, I will remember that taste of Scotch. 

Got to ride in the wheel house of the boat today! Thanks to the skipper I got to feel like a VIP. Only 3 more weeks of these boat rides from Cairns to Green Island.

Sunset on Green Island. The weather hasn’t been great these past few weeks so it makes this even better.

One more month on Green Island.

It’s going to be over before I know it. Slightly nervous and extremely excited about the possibilities ahead. I will miss this island so much though, trying to take it all in as much as I can. Even when there are winds of 45 knots blasting through.

Sunset from a couple nights ago. Tumblr on my phone wasn’t letting me upload photos for a while so I haven’t updated much (and I haven’t taken too many pictures). I seem to have fixed the problem now.

Parents visited for their 25th wedding anniversary. Got to show them around Cairns and Green Island. It was some much needed family time for me as well. Miss them already!

It feels awesome to take a vacation.

Even when my whole life right now is kind of a vacation. Much needed family time in Australia. Missing the brother a lot though!

A neighbor came knocking. Took this about a week ago and forgot to post it here.
