We were blessed with ideal weather for the first 5 days so we made a beeline for Saumarez Reef then took advantage of the conditions to fish some new ground. Some great captures were made and a big variety in which were a few surprises.

This was just before 5pm. I had been awake for thirty-five hours, drunken forty-five cans of VB, half a dozen Big Jims and smoked two packs of cigarettes. I was as ready as I was gonna get!

As I sit back and look at the photograph from the top deck of Kanimbla on the Wednesday morning when, the ocean made the average bathtub look choppy, I wonder where the week went to!!!! Some trips are more positively overwhelming than others and, this was one of them.
