Boat Trip

Last week we went on a 3-day boat trip, which departed from Airlie Beach and went through the famous Whitsunday Islands. We had a great time, and got to do plenty of snorkling and diving. One of the stops was at Whitehaven beach, which is known for its white sands. Unfortunately it was pretty overcast the day we were at Whitehaven, but we still got some pretty good pics. If you want to see some better pictures and some underwater pictures of what we saw, visit this website: www.powerplaycat.com If you do, look out for pictures of a huge, bluish-grey fish with big lips. His name is Elvis, and we got to see him while we were diving. Actually, he is so friendly and well-known by the crew, that he came right up to us and we could touch him!
These batfish came right up to our boat to get some bread. It was crazy. One of the crew actually caught one with his hands and picked it up out of the water for a few seconds. The were about 18 inches long and almost as tall.
This is the boat. It is a catamaran, and there were 18 passengers and 4 crew.
