Up at about 7.30am and everyone feeling surprisingly Ok despite the alcohol that was drunk. Unfortunately so raining but not as bad and not much wind si the sea was a lot calmer.
Today was snorkeling day so we headed off to our first spot, it took me a while to get used to the breathing but I got it in the end, saw some really cool stuff, coral and colourful fish, was quite good. We then headed off to our second spot where half the group went diving and the test of us snorkeling and we were told we would see much more. I can't explain how many fish were in this spot, all swimming around you, there must've been thousands, all different and so colourful, some even looked illuminous, I even found Nemo! The coral was amazing too, again some appearing illuminous. It was absolutely spectacular. None of us wanted to get out.
Eventually we got out and lunch was ready, definitely the best I've eaten since being out here.
Then it was the long journey back to Airlie Beach. We saw a few whales, one that kept slapping is fin on to the sea, looked as though it was waving at us. The sun finally made appearance and everyone was very happy to say the least. We were making good time so the Captain decided to stop and let us have a swim in the ocean, lots of back flips and bombs from the boat, was quite cool.
Arrived back into Airlie at about 4.30pm and all headed back into town to our respective hostels, most of us stopping at the same ones which was good.
We headed to the Down Under Bar where a table had been reserved for us for an after sailing party, a great night of food and drink before we went back to the lads hostel to finish the rest of the goon and some more drinking games. Wasn't too late a night as everyone was pretty tired.
An absolutely amazing trip and great experiences, I'm not sure it would've been as good if we didn't have the rain and wind, not for me anyway, I feel like I had a proper sailing experience, it was awesome bro (as the captain would say).
