The Great Barrier Reef

 On our 50 km trip to the reef leaving Cairns at 9am and we arrived at the marine station at 1030.
Thank goodness for the motion bracelets for Irene's motion problem. They worked very well.

We took the heli tour of the reef where we were. The pad was totally surrounded by water and we were transferred by sea shuttle
