Another awesome trip. 16 of us departed Gladstone late Saturday afternoon in glorious conditions. Due to a forecast brief deterioration in the weather we spent Sunday at the Swains Reefs while our Captain Bruce Stobo assessed the latest weather reports. The pending change didn't look too bad so Sunday night we ventured on to Saumarez Reef.

I promised a number of you details of my trip[s] so here it is.

Given the ideal outlook, we decided to go straight to the northern end of Saumarez Reef and spend the evening there before venturing on to the even more remote Frederick Reef.
