<p>So where have we been the last two weeks?  We were on Mike Ball&#8217;s diving liveaboard Spoil Sport as volunteer deckhands.  The idea is we work on the boat and in return we get to go out for free and dive.  Food and a bunk are free, too.  I worked on the dive deck (I knew there was a reason to get my divemaster) and Monique worked as dive swing meaning, theoretically, she should be on the dive deck half the time and in the galley the other half. -jp</p>
<p>2 Wochen Volunteering auf dem Tauchboot von Mike Ball hatten wir geplant. Unsere Vorstellung war, wir bekommen für&#8217;s aushelfen auf dem Boot Kost und Logie umsonst und 2 Tauchgänge am Tag. Soweit so gut, so war es auch, aber im Detail auch ein bisschen anders&#8230; -mk</p>

<p><p class="wp-caption-text">It looks like Nemo found his way into a wind tunnel</p></div>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">We finally got back in the water.  Monique has her new gear and I got a replacement camera and a new wetsuit since I was tired ot freezing my ass off.  Good news is the problem was indeed the camera and not the housing so we&#8217;re back in business.</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">We went diving with Tusa T5 and a friend of ours, Tim from Koh Tao, joined us.  The visibility was pretty mediocre and I couldn&#8217;t equalize on the first dive because of my cold/flu/whatever it was (104.5° fever&#8230; my new personal record) but other than that it wasn&#8217;t bad.  Mostly, we were making sure all our new gear works and we&#8217;re happy and ready for more diving in a couple of weeks. -jp</p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="line-height:19px;font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Am Sonntag waren wir mal endlich wieder tauchen. Hatte sich ein wenig hingezogen, da Justin ne Grippe hatte (keine Swine Flu!). Wir waren zusammen mit Tim, dem Tauchlehrer von meinem Bruder Sandro und meinem Dad in Koh Tao. Er ist gerade auf Australienurlaub und wollte es sich natürlich nicht nehmen lassen das Great Barrier Reef zu tauchen. Leider war die Sicht aufgrund des trüben Wetters nicht so gut, aber wir haben supersüße Nudibranches gefunden. Ganz mini kleine wunderschön farbige Schnecken. Ich liebe die kleinen Kerle und die gibts in tausend verschiedenen Formen und Farben &#8211; ich will sie alle sehen!! -mk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/breakfastwithkangaroos/"><img class="alignnone" title="Wings" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3508/3748234638_3fdeee7100.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">When we got on the boat, before it even left the dock there was a briefing.  One thing Harry the Kiwi skipper said was &#8220;if you&#8217;re here for a party boat, you&#8217;re on the wrong boat.  Get off and go get your money back.&#8221;  I liked that.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">For the insanely low price of $345 AUD we were on a three night cruise on a brand spanking new sailboat called Emperors Wings that would take us around the islands then out to the Outer Great Barrier Reef for diving.  The boat was completely full but it was never really a tight fit.  The food was good and the staff were excellent.  </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">On the first day we went to Hayman Island and dove Blue Pearl Bay.  After that we sailed to Whitsunday Island, arriving after dark.  The next morning we went to Whitehaven beach.  What a fantastic place that was.  Easily one of the best looking beaches in the world.  A perfect example of pristine, tranquil beach, far removed from civilization.  Which is exactly why we were sharing it with 200 other people from various other tour boats.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">After that it was out to the reef for a couple of days of diving.  Good stuff, that was.  We even did a night dive.  The camera is still broken but we took the G9.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">At the end of the trip we sailed back to the mainland to spend the last night in a protected bay.  It was just around the corner from Airlie but it was so empty and quiet that it could&#8217;ve easily have been 1000 miles away.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">If you&#8217;re going to Airlie Beach then we highly recommend you take a trip on Emperors Wings.  Unless you&#8217;re a 19 year old drunken backpacker dickhead in which case Spirit of Airlie is your boat. -jp</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Endlich, auf gings zum Segeltrip. Das hieß 3 Tage segeln, 3 Tage Great Barrier Reef tauchen und wunderschöne Inseln und Strände dabei anschauen! Einfach genial! Wir haben nen super Preis von Rose in dem Tourist Information Center in Airlie bekommen. Das Ganze hat uns 345,- AU$ gekostet &#8211; exkl. tauchen.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Wir haben uns Mittags getroffen und sind zu den Whitsundays gesegelt. Auf Hayman Island waren wir dann auf unserem 1. Tauchgang in der Blue Pearl Bay. Sehr schöner Tauchgang, doch es sollte noch besser kommen! Am nächsten Morgen haben wir einen Inselspaziergang zum White Haven Beach unternommen &#8211; der mit am schönsten Strände der Welt mit unglaublich feinem, weißen Sand. Riesig &#8211; Strand wohin das Auge reicht! &#8230; Doch natürlich konnten wir es nicht erwarten danach endlich wieder ins Wasser zu kommen um das Äußere Great Barrier Reef zu betauchen. Am Bait Reef bei den South Stepping Stones gings dann in die Tiefen des Meeres. Als ich so die Luft aus meiner Tauchweste gelassen hab und somit langsam abtauchte, fühlte ich mich wie im Aquarium! Nein ehrlich, es war so unglaublich klare Sicht, dass es einem tatsächlich vorkam wie in einem frisch geputztem Aquarium. Wir hatten einen tollen Tauchgang, wo ich 2 Haie entdeckt hab und gerade noch Justin zeigen konnte, die andern Taucher waren wie immer schon weit voran geschwommen &#8211; selber schuld! Es waren nur kleine Haie &#8211; ein White Tip Reef Shark und ein Black Tip Reef Shark. Da war ich natürlich sehr stolz auf mich!</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Die Rückfahrt am nächsten Tag war etwas schaucklig, aber wir haben das gut überstanden. Alles in Allem der Trip war sein Geld auf jeden Fall wert, wir hatten ne Menge Spaß! -mk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica;line-height:normal;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/breakfastwithkangaroos/"><img class="alignnone" title="Clownfish" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2595/3689509434_eb0625f344.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a> </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">The Town of 1770 is less a town and more like a street with a little marina.  But the marina has boats and those boats go to the Great Barrier Reef.  We went to Lady Musgrave Island on one of those tourist snorkel pontoon boat things and it was a lot better than I was planning on.  On the way out to the reef we saw whales jumping out of the water and dolphins swimming around the boat.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">We did two dives at the island, one on the outer reef and one in the lagoon.  During the first dive we could hear the chatter of dolphins the entire time because they were following us.  The camera stuffed up again on the first dive but the second dive was so shallow that we got some photos.  We hope you enjoy them. -jp</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Town of 1770 ist mehr oder weniger ein Strand mit einem winzigen Hafen und ein paar Häusern. Trotzallem echt schön und vorallem tolle Strände. Wir haben dort eine Tour unternommen welche uns zur Lady Musgrave Insel am Great Barrier Reef gebracht hat, wo wir natürlich tauchen waren. Auf dem Weg dahin durften wir sogar ganz aus der Ferne Wale beobachten und einer ist sogar 2 mal komplett aus dem Wasser gesprungen &#8211; naja, aber leider ziemlich weit weg, was uns jetzt dazu motiviert hat eine dieser Waltouren zu machen, wo sie direkt zu den Walen hinfahren und man diese dann ganz nah sehen kann.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Der erste Tauchgang war am äußeren Riff, wo ich mir echt schon fast in die Hose gemacht hab, weil sich die Wellen riiiesig am Riff gebrochen haben und ich meine RIESIG! Doch während des Tauchganges wurden wir von den Gesängen der Delphine begleitet &#8211; leider haben die Burschen sich nicht gezeigt. Der Tauchgang war dann auch ein wenig strömungsbelastet und anstrengend, doch wir hatten ja noch unseren zweiten Tauchgang in der Lagune. Der war echt schön! Da die Ebbe schon ziemlich weit vorangeschritten war, war das Wasser ziemlich flach und wir haben das ganze schöne Sonnenlicht na unten bekommen. Da sieht man die Korallen und Fische wirklich am besten. -mk</p>
