The good news is its the beginning of the stinger season to so we cant even take jet in the water, yay! & we only get 5 litres of water per person per day so I'm not sure how we will go giving him a bath either - not that we are taking a bucket because we are only allowed 40kg of luggage between all of us flying up there. At least we will be using cloth nappies so we wont be carting 10 days worth of stinky grows sposies around with us (you have to take all your rubbish with you).
For the past couple of weeks people have been telling us all the wonderful stories of things that can go wrong, the best one is a friend of a friend getting dropped out on an island by a boat, then the guy that dropped them out there had a heart attack through the week & didn't tell anyone he was meant to pick them back up & they were stranded there for an extra 2 weeks with no food or water - fantastic!
Rocky's friend lent us this little dovalacki called an EPROM or something, its some emergency response thing that you set off & it notifies all the military, police, air force (& anyone else in the area) that you need urgent assistance you know, just in case we get bitten by a brown snake, stung by a box jelly fish, attacked by a shark or all of the above.
I might just mention at this point that i have a phobia of sharks. I started watching Jaws when i was 3 (that doesn't have anything to do with it though...noooooo). I'm absolutely fascinated by them but i respect their awesome killing power way to much to go anywhere near their domain. Rocky is taking us to that island because of the awesome snorkeling you can do at the reefs, but cause jets with us only one of us can go out at a time & there is no way on earth I'm going out to be shark bait all by my self!
anyway, wish us luck (rocky always has to drag me kicking & screaming to these things but i normally have a fantastic time).
Hopefully ill be back in 10 days to tell you all about it.
