Adam threw some wholemeal bread in the water and a school of batfish came to the back of the boat and were handfed.
Adam gave us flippers, snorkel and a noodle float and helped us into the water. We practised our mouth breathing and had a wonderful view of the fish and the coral, which is in the world heritage area here. We anchored close to a secluded beach and waded in to the sand and combed the beach for a while. Then we returned to a nice morning tea and saw a whistling kite and a sea eagle perform.
Lyn and John were given rods and quickly caught a fish each using garfish strips.
Lyn's catch was identified as a cattle-dog cod, but both fish were too small and were returned. We were given another go at snorkeling in another spot then Adam sped back to Nelly's Bay and said goodbye at 12:30. After lunch we walked along the newly constructed coastal boardwalk called the Gabul Way to Geoffrey Bay. Gabul was the dreamtime serpent who carved out all the offshore islands.
We walked as far as Alma Bay where lifeguards were on duty between the flags. The weather was getting hot so we walked back to the ferry and came "home" to our generously offered afternoon tea with Iva.
