I think I've discovered a new sport and finding a lot of enjoyment in it. Snorkelling! Its a little like going on safari and seeing creatures in their natural environment. Coral Bay is one of my most favourite spots in Australia and its my 2nd time visiting here. The bay is calm, because the reef break is way out and the big waves don't crash to shore. Its part of the Ningaloo Reef and its so amazing what you see. Today we saw two turtles, many shapes and sizes of yellow striped fish, black striped fish and various other colours plus dozens of these tiny irridescent blue and turquoise fish. They aren't bothered by you at all. Coral is neat too, so many different shapes and sizes, cabbage like, kale like.
Last night we went out to the beach in the moonlight to see if any turtles were coming ashore to lay their eggs. We are a bit early for the nesting season, but we were hoping to get lucky. Never saw a thing but it was great to sit on the beach in the moonlight!
Tomorrow we have long drive ahead of us about 600 k's down to Monkey Mia and Shark Bay. Best get to bed as its another early rise.

Wow sounds awesome! We got snow on Halloween and the temp is hovering around 0. I envy the heat but not sure I could take the 40 - 45 stuff! Stay well Sis!
Cool - maybe you could get some nice pics for Morgan's 'turtle & sea' quilt!! Nevermind - you probably don't have an under water camera....have fun!
