On the boat

We are into day 4 of our 7 day liveaboard. It's been great so far. The boat was not full so I shared a 4 person bunk room with another woman for 3 days. The boat is now full, though, so it will be tighter quarters and a very busy diving area. I would have been fine getting off the boat and onto dry land complete with our own private room, but my husband is loving the boat and as many as 5 dives per day. Growing up near water and used to being out on a fishing boat with his dad, my husband is loving it here. Gratefully, the other guests, the staff and the food are great. The diving has been really nice. I have been keeping dives to 3 per day because my back just gets too tired otherwise.

We are now at Lizard Island and head out to Osprey Island tonight. We are crossing the open ocean tonight so a bumpy night is expected and I am already planning on my seasickness tablet after dinner tonight.

I am posting a picture from our Potato Cod feeding. We were joined by two massive potato cod whom obviously know of the feeding area that several dive operators use. The other picture is of a squid or cuddlefish that was about the size of my forearm. We've seen them before, but not this big.
