So I must admit that I often struggle with wildlife. After having a magnificent trip snorkeling with the Wavelength out of Port Douglas, our second trip snorkeling out of Airlie Beach brought us into the waters of the jellyfish. Now I know that not all jellyfish are dangerous and these particular jellyfish did not sting. However, I could not get past this fact to be okay with swimming in water infested with these nasty little sea rodents.
I am not exaggerating when I say there were hundreds if not thousands of jellyfish in plain eye sight throughout the water. You could feel them all over your body, it was truly disgusting. It had all the makings for a horror movie. I felt bad for not swimming out deep to see the coral but I figured it was best to stay ashore rather than drown in the deep blue sea due to thrashing my body about in the water trying to get away from the jellyfish. :p Unfortunately we don’t have our pictures from the water camera developed yet but maybe one day I can post the pics and share the horror with you. :)
On the bright side, the sailing was a lot of fun. I like feeling the waves underneath me and breathing in the ocean air. I also had the chance to try rum and coke in a can on the boat. Can you believe it? That is the last thing I thought would wind up in a can. It wasn’t bad but I think I would prefer to mix the rum and coke myself. :)
