Towards the Reef

23:59 Sunday 4^th March:  Last night moved through the Gulf of Carpentaria and spotted a wonderful sunset.  Today another visit to the onboard launderette, followed in the afternoon by Ashley and table mate, Geoff, performing in the Palladium Theatre as members of the Arcadian Vocalists – again quite good although we would have  benefitted from Peter Thomas’ expertise! 

Tonight an excellent show with a classically trained girl singer, everything from “Love Changes Everything” to “Nessam Dorma”.  A good evening.

Arriving at Yorkey’s Knob, between 0630 and 07:00 tomorrow after being piloted through the start of the Great Barrier Reef.  Sorry Emma, we will not be scuba diving there.   Temperature expected to be 35C.  There is a great deal of rain around Sydney, we hear.
