The Great Barrier Reef Round 1

Jeremy and I headed out on a sick boat yesterday to check out one of the seven wonders of the natural world. We encountered sea turtles, clown fish, coral, blue waters with huge swells and lots of yakking people (some big waves on the way home). We got some great pictures from the digital camera we rented and Jeremy got a really incredible sunburn.

The Reef


This was the best part, meeting up with this guy! We could get SO close!


These bat fish were super friendly, partly I'm sure b/c they get fed off the side of the boat everyday. You could touch them.


We found Nemo, he was here all along.


Nice plant/coral thing.


Is there a really big pearl in there?


Our ride, on the way home we had the sail up and flew.


Me.

A video of the turtle, it's super shaky though, my apologies.
