Day 6!!!

K.. day 6.. I DONT WANNA GO HOME!!! Eeeeee

.. actually its more 50/50.. I wouldnt wanna be stuck on this boat forever.. and I’ve got stuff to do : P.. ok today.. usual 6:00 rise and yummy breakfast.. burnt the stupid raisin toast.. AGAIN *pouts* grr but had some fruit salad on top (not on toast just as well) then we went for the morning snorkel.. a 20m line sweep in a northerly direction from the site of the anchor chain pile.. didn’t visually find anything but I saw a really cool clam.. it was BLUE well the algae in its membranes that photosynthesise for it were blue.. I liked it… I also found two puffer fish.. I was trying to get one to blow up but it was just raising its spikes at me : P well it was in a tiny hole with another puffer fish.. I think if it did blow up its friend wouldn’t be too impressed.. hehe I also saw a nudibrank (no idea how to spell that!!) but it’s a slug pretty thing.. ?? google it : P hehe

after coming back we had lunch.. Mexican.. yum yum soft tortilla.. actually should say now Tristan our cook is the awesomenest.. anyways.. me and megan didn’t go on the afternoon snorkel.. sweeping either the east or west of the chain (I cant remember) and instead fixed our blogs, annoyed people and generally wet ourselves laughing for hours over minute childish matters : P

I spent my afternoon drawing on a T-shirt of Tristan’s while Megan and Bre folded napkins.. looks like a opera house or a hot poker flower : P was pretty sweet.. we then had a restaurant dinner and discussed blogging which leads me to the following..

Ed was upset that his only mention being that he sat and listened.. he submitted a formal complaint and now were recognizing his full magnificence… : )

Today we found 5 canister shots and 1 pistol shot (musket ball) anyways we has a wreck ONE MERMAID!!!!!

Day 5

Day 5

I don’t know its kinda weird the days at certain points seem to slow down or speed up.. today was one of those days.. started late.. got up at 7 (naughty.. sleep in) had a yummy breakfast and went for a morning snorkel tagging all the previous found objects.. well after we had the huge argument about whether we were ‘tagging’ or ‘flagging’ seeing we were tagging the objects but using flagging tape : P so after our snorkel and me pinching some tape and tying on my toe lol we had lunch PIZZA!!! Except it was so drenched in cheese so I didn’t : ( *hangs head* ive just realised that with all the snorkelling it has made my sinuses even more pooey and sensitive to dairy… *shakes fist* its not fair : ( eeeeeeee anyways I had muffins and soup yum yum and then we wandered Spoilsport and helped out, watched Yes Men and finalised yesterdays blogging.. I was really happy when I downloaded my photos and got 4 clear ones!!! Which is a new experience for me haha

So basically the day has come and go with a nice asian style dinner, more napkin folding and Bre interrupting my blogging with napkin throwing, tickling and finally a biting competition.. but I’m back now : P OH WE FOUND THE ANCHOR!!!!!! Yayness!!! We found it we found it!!!! YAY!! So yer now we just have to most defiantly prove it’s the mermaid but otherwise we’ve defiantly got a shipwreck which is defiantly looking alot like the Mermaid!! And if it is IT WILL BE SWEET.. hopefully they will let us go snorkel out over it but otherwise we have some awesome as pics thanks to Xanthe.. wonder woman with that camera : P

just 2 more days on the vessel.. its all past in a blur.. I dunno I’m just going to look back on this and be like WOW that was an experience of a life time…

P.s sorry blogs have been getting shorter.. I guess its due to lack of time/organisation/availability of laptop/battery in laptop being charged/urge to do it/major events commencing in my day…. lol I dunno hmmm..

Day 4!!!

Coral

Day 4…

 

 

 

Today could have started better.. bad night sleep and woke up early.. feeling crap (I ate too much sea water) urgh!! So yer my tummy and digestive system is doing back flips.. we went snorkelling did a sweep of another section marked with buoys.. we battled the current and basically found zilch.. hmm saw a shark though SWEET AS!!!.. random minor epiphany between me and Megan.. we is sad lil children.. lmao (laughing my ass off) we basically only talk to the staff.. and their PAID to keep us entertained *hangs head* nah I think they like us.. I hope they like us lol… their so awesome WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! (Nah we do talk to everyone else as well)

 Hehe lol back to relevant issues… after our morning snorkel I went for a sleep because of my unhappy tummy.. and was woken up by Ms Lynch telling me to get ready because I was going snorkelling in 10.. AH!! So didn’t bother with wetsuit and went out to a place where we think we it’s the mermaid but is most defiantly a shipwreck.. we found a few different bits and pieces.. we found a 2 staples, copper nails, a barrel ring which could actually be a mask ring though.. another ring off a compass and a pile of chain cemented to the reef floor..

 Unfortunately the weather worsened and we headed back to Spoilsport and blogged away into the night. We watched a few presentations- on other shipwrecks such as Pandora and the pictures that Xanthe had taken during the day.

p.s 2 interesting things.. 1) learning to walk in a straight line on a rocking boat (aka not look drunk) and 2) photography underwater when you float and the current is constantly moving you and your camera is gay.. alot of the coral colours are 100X brighter then what turns up on the camera : (

p.p.s one of my photos aka so crap compared to Xanthe’s
