Our second
day was a real adventure out to Agincourt reef in the Coral Sea. I had
unknowingly signed us up for the more adventurous snorkeling experience, and
Jim was thrilled! I was more than a little nervous as I attempted my first ever
snorkeling out in the middle of the Coral Sea on a platform anchored to a coral reef-with no
land in sight! It wasn’t easy, and we both struggled in the cold, choppy water,
me more than Jim, but oh, it was so worth it to see the beautiful fish and
coral! Forty-five minutes in the water was a long time, and even with a lycra
suit for the possible stingers (jellyfish) and a wet suit for warmth, I was pretty happy
to get back in my jeans and jersey(a jersey is a hoodie or for the very old of us, a sweatshirt
jacket).

Jim rented
an underwater camera and took great photos!
