“The Perfect Day” on the Outer Wall of the Great Barrier Reef

You simply won’t believe the day we had yesterday!

Jumping off the back of the dive-boat into the sea as 26 year-old Captain Matt backed up to get us as close as possible without the boat hitting the reef, I had visions of ending up ’20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”.

Only today do I learn on Google
“The title of the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea refers to a journey around the world that was of a distance of 20,000 leagues, not a depth of 20,000 leagues. A nautical league is three nautical miles.”

More of this story to come.

I look to admire the photo: it leaves one breathless. I remember the first picture I saw of MM was a Christmas card: on a huge rock wearing sandals.
