holidays

woohoo !!!!!! of with the wife and kids for a 2 week boat cruise out of sydney..we are leaving on thursday arvo for the cruise but flying to sydney tomorrow..heading out to the pacific islands and have packed our snorkel and masks this time to do heaps of swimming,the boys enjoyed swimming amongst the coral last time...
hope there's no big seas or cyclones soon...might get a bit scarry
we have 9 boxes of tablets to keep the old legs and stomach on track
going to miss the close astroid pass,and comet lemmon brightning but hay holidays sound pretty good...last time we wen't i took the bino's but the ship is way to lite to see much and that gentle rock makes it even harder...

and a won't have time to even go to bintel for a look.(elise has layed the law down).there's always something we need-isn't there

Sounds great Mozzie

I just got back last saturday, The last pic is interesting in that it was taken at Ifra reef 8 minutes after the solomon Island tsunami arrived
we encountered three waves as we crossed the reef , the guides were a little surprised by the waves but didn't understand what was going on.

Another in our group was shopping in Vila when the sirens went off a few people took off most ignored it .

I love going on cruises, as far as holidays go these are the most relaxing. I've been on a couple, my favourite place is the isle of pines. The snorkelling there is amazing. I saw a fairly big octopus, and when I told the mrs about it she squeeled and swam away

Hope you have a ball

Sounds good Pete. Say hi to Elise and the boys from us. Have a great time and we will see you in August again. The break from the rain in Coffs should be nice.

Norm and Judy are coming up from Tassie again so it should be a nice break. Catch you then. (I will be retired by then.)(Just another rather balding grey nomad)

Cheers Mate, have a great holiday.

Happy cruising, Mozzie

Hmmm, I wonder if it's possible to through a line off the stern & do a bit of trolling for tuna or a bit of marlin? Seems a bit of a waste otherwise!
