The morning began with a snorkeling session. There were turtles, turtles, and more turtles. Lots of turtles. All the green sea turtles. And lots of condrichthyans. There was a hoard of cow head stingrays hanging out beneath the boat dock, and even got to see a guitar fish! A large black tip reef shark swam real close, and the shark had two remoras. Some comb jellies would float past. For me, the highlight of the snorkel was seeing a wobbegong, also called a carpet shark, chilling under a small ledge on the edge of a shipwreck.

After four back-to-back plane rides from Portland, OR to Gladstone, QLD, I stayed last night at a neat hostel with the rest of the Heron crew. We took a ferry this morning to Heron Island, and I feel that this place must be real special to justify traveling to the other side of the globe to get here.
Technology is nice when it works.
