Exmouth is a small coastal town and provides the access point to Cape Range National Park. Our first stop was the Dive Centre where Ben booked in for the 'Old Navy Pier' dive one of the top ten dives in the world. Then we drove along the Cape and had our first snorkel on the World Heritage Ningaloo Reef at Oyster Stacks.

Sue was indeed very surprised there was ...

We were up early and made our way to Peter and Jo's boat which is moored at the Royal Perth Yacht Club on the Swan River. It was still pretty overcast and we both thought me might be in for a rough 12k journey over to Rottness Island. Once out at sea it was a little choppy but the cloud began to burn off and the sun star...
