We just got back in town from a night out at Cape Tribulation, named by Captain Cook after he ran aground on the neighboring Great Barrier Reef in 1770. (In case you were wondering, he didn't sink because a piece of coral had wedged itself into the hull, slowing the leak; and he fixed the hole after an ingenious on-board engineer patched it with a sail on the outside.) The area is stunning, with crazy wild rainforest running right down to the white sand beaches.
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait to post pictures of that adventure until the next one is over. We're being picked up in 20 minutes to head out on a liveaboard dive ship for 4 nights. We're headed out with Taka dives to the far northern edge of the Great Barrier Reef: to Cod Hole, where giant cods swim around, and to Osprey Reef, to see sharks feeding. We're really excited and a little nervous!
Don't fret if you don't hear from us for a few days. We'll have a ton of stories to tell when we return on Tuesday!
