I Fought the Reef and the Reef Won

Hey all, just back from a 3 day sailing trip on the outer great barrier reef. So pretty out there. I got my leg all scratched up and ripped a nail off my toe in a mishap with some coral..ouch!! Other than that though it was fabulous when snorkeling lots and saw some great islands and just sailed heaps. I was on one of the racing sailboats you know the ones that go competeley sideways when they are sailing, it was so much fun and also everyone on board had to help in sailing so lots of raising sails and holding ropes and sailory type stuff. I got some awesome pictures from the trip I'll be sending out in the next few days. It was crazy living on the boat for 3 days, no shoes, no showers and lots and lots of rocking, I've just now been able to walk straight 2 days later. I'm definetly gonna sail again as soon as I get the chance, there's honestly no greater feeling than sailing into a beautiful sunset..one of my best moments ever!! Also met some awesome people on my boat, nothing to do for 3 days but chat to people to keep yourself entertained so get some good bonding time in..great trip all and all..can't wait to do it again!!
