Where out of here.

               We did a good, no,  I mean REALLY good scrub on the boat before we left Townsville.

                   We will miss the cactus garden a lot.

 We left Townsville on Sunday, July 2014

Check out our CRAZY ( weird ) way to Maggie Island 

  Cartoon by SarahSteenland.com

On the way to Maggie Island a whale stopped and chilled in front of the marina and our friend Andy (who was driving a ferry) had the whale sit right next to the boat and chilled even more. When we went past it, we nearly ran over it. (thank lord we didn't!) 

We had a party on the boat with coke and frankenwinnies (sausages), on the way to Maggie.

 We anchored in Horseshoe bay three hours later. There we took the rubber ducky to white lady beach.

     I, the queen of the rocks found an awesome sitting place and my minion buddy followed me. 

                                                                  Hello  boaty friends! 

We all came together for a fire with our friends on Paws and Conrad ( both boats that our friends live on ).

           Sonia and I found rodent bones.

And made the Rat - A - Tac museum with the help of my friends Andy ,Jemma ,Sonia ,Anden , Griffin and Max 

 At the end of the day we had sushi and burnt sossages for dinner and once it was past 8:00 We said goodbye to everyone. All, but not to the family on Conrad because we will sail with them on the way but until Cairns. 

GOODBYE MAGGIE ISLAND..... ( singing 🎶🎶 )

Anemone - The Coral Keeper

Based on marine biology (for my marine bio studying), I created these mermaids that in my imagination created the oceans and all the life that inhabit them.

Anemone, the coral keeper

 Always happy and full of laughs, Anemone lives in the Great Barrier Reef on the North, East side of Australia. She loves to grow fan coral and all sorts of tentacled corals (like anemones). she can be paranoid at times, since she witnessed the first coral bleaching, coral getting damaged and fishing on reefs by the greedy humans and the evil crown of thorns! Though when she is not too busy searching for the best places for coral reefs and working with Scella (the polyp keeper) and grow (the zooxanthellae keeper), she loves to visit the Caribbean Sea and remote islands in the Pacific Ocean for the amazing corals, even though coral only grows 1cm a year she still loves them no matter what.

Stay tuned for the next mermaid in the series 'Fathom' The Depth Keeper.

Island hopping

 

Once we left Maggie Island we stopped at Fantome Island and I accidentally lured  a baby goat to me, so I managed to lead him back to his family, Or his family came to him, and it scared the heck out of me when I saw the big goats looking at me with those big horns, SO I RAN AS FAST AS I COULD!!! It really was funny when I got out of there. and on the way to Dungeness creek there was a few places that I can't remember. So a few days there before we left Dungeness creek mum freaked  on the way out because we ran a ground and we were got stuck on a sandbank. Mum wanted dad to call for backup so badly that she was waving her arms every where, and he sent her downstairs because she wasn't helping much. Anyway, Next we anchored at Goold Island, where we started the Green Gorilla Project video posts on our trip. AND WE'RE TRAVELLING WITH CONRAD WOOHOO!!! - another sailboat with two kids, Max 8 and Sonia 7. 

                                  

                                Dad was proud that his mackerel was bigger than Indi 

                                      

                                   

                                                        the cartoon my mum did.

                  

                                            

                                   Mum was also impressed with all the shells we found.
