Sea is a bit rough...we are 1/2 way to Michaelmas Cay. ..+1 is feeling seasick despite the pills and I hate to say but I'm feeling a bit queasy as well

The Cay is fairly well protected, so once there you should be OK. Sorry to hear that , I was really hoping it would be as perfect for you, as it was for us when we went.

Try to stay on the foredeck (but back near the cabin) with the sea breeze blowing in your face and keep looking at the horizon rather than closer in.

EDIT....and stop looking at an iPhone screen! That will just make it worse.

Mrs Lime and self had a great time, going to need a looooong frame and wall for the picture prize, really enjoyed putting names to names, meeting the lovely Red Roo, guest speakers, venue & food excellent and just a few blocks from home (no we cabbed it). And a big thank you committee for arranging this special night, well done.

Checking in for the Green Island trip we find we aren't eligible for the priority queue.

There are 7 of us on the 10:30 sailing to Green Island. So glad I didn't choose the 8:30 option.

Well that's a bummer! Hope you both recover quickly.

Had to take this photo but missed getting one with the safety briefing card. They have a different spiel to the aircraft one.

Do they still use the joke, "the exits are all around you..."?

No but it's important to grab your life jacket and your sunglasses - because remember the first choppers to arrive will be the TV stations - not search and rescue

Hmmm I was declined as they are 'fully booked'. Feedback me thinks. Are you Gold or Diamond?

Time for lunch.

Gold.

I was declined at first . I asked about a paid late check out for 3pm . Front desk checked with DM. a bit of discussion took place. Then was told my room was not being used inmediately and was offered a 2pm complimentary late check out

Well done!

I did get comped a $15 bar bill for not being able to get a late check out - I guess very much room dependent.

Now sitting in the courtyard surfing while waiting for the rain to ease ...

... looking to share a cab out to the airport 200pm-230pm ...

 

[QF WP]

We've arrived and found the bar

 

[Bindibuys]

We are already at VA lounge. My eyes are very sore, so opted for taking it easy.

Thank you for the yummy snacks last night!

Hope you feel better soon

 

[penegal]

No idea why, but I was a little "off colour" this morning so no Green Island for me.

Feeling better now. What's the plan for dinner this evening?
