We had a relatively uneventful crossing on the ferry an didn't arrive on the island until close to midnight.
The first day on the island we woke up and after a Tommy special breakfast, we got busy with unpacking and trying to find spots for everything in our wee bach. Libby was frothing to get to the beach so the afternoon was beach time. Libby was like a whirling dervish - swimming, snorkling, kayaking, playing in the sand, climbing trees and then doing it all over again. She was so excited to finally be here that I think she was determined to do everything all at once - amazing energy levels!! Just when you expected her to curl up exhausted she would be away again!
New Years Eve was a quiet affair for us. A bit of bellydance and drumming on the deck at Libby's request and then an early night.
Tom was up and away early for a paddle and a fish. Libby woke up shouting "Happy New Year" and came down for breakfast. We pottered about re-arranging the bach trying to find the best place for everything to go... always a bit of an evolving process.
Tom arrived home with a 9 pound snapper - dinner was taken care of! It was a stinking hot day so we waited until about 3:00 before we went down to the beach. When we got there we were treated to this....
Words won't do this justice... and really to be honest neither does the video! What and amazing few hours we had watching this performance!
It seems criminal to be blogging when there is so much to be doing outdoors... I had to share this though and skite... if I'm not around it's because I'm busy with life on the island!

You guys are so blessed. I'm here in Hamilton and enjoy your blogs. I have learnt so much. You and Tommy seem like a great couple, and have lots of fun together.
Wow...thats so wonderful...Don and i lived in Carins (outside of it) for three months one so called winter (25%C daily) in 1972...it was heaven...we were poor and living in a caravan...but its sort of in my memory as a honeymoon before the wedding...We didn't get to the great barrier reef, but saw enough of the area to do us for a lifetime.
