Will Conner and dolphins yesterday.

An awesome days sailing yesterday, decent winds and plenty of scenery including a stopover at Broughton Island, off Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest, a 100 strong pod of dolphins riding the bow wake of some of the little red crafts and an escort into Shoal Bay by Frank Future and his crew aboard “Imagine”.
Former Pro Surfer Simon Law and his groms popped in to our campsite to say g’day, as did Skye Bortoli and family. Skye has been nominated and made the final of the Young Australian of the Year awards for her outstanding campaigning for preservation and environmental issues … Best of luck Skye!
Gotta be quick, cause we’re heading out and meeting NBN and the Newcastle Herald off Stockton Beach (about two hours south) and then making for Swansea or further south! If you’re on front of the tele tonight, tune in to NBN

Here some pics from last 48 hours…

Hey Chris….wonder how your thunder thighs are doing now? Such a lot of paddling. When you left Byron we were talking about that being the biggest muscle in the body and that it will surely be handy after a few days at sea.

We will tune in to NBN tonight…

Many blessings on your adventure. Love, Rayah and Brian

Hey fellas-
My good friend Rusty (as in Miller ) sent me to your site because I just finished animating one of my songs and he figured you may be interested in seeing it. Looks like you are doing great things and having a fantastical adventure. This is to show off the hidden talents of our giant underwater friends.
