Ok so reef day! The long awaited day! And the weather......................... WAS PERFECT! SUNNY AND HOT! YEY!!!!!!!! We went out on a boat called silverswift, which is the fastest cairns based vessel! And mand it was fast! Julie and I initially laughed when they offered us sea sickness tablets when we climbed aboard but we now understand their offers of kindness!
