Discovering Hope and Pickersgill
On our slow return south from Lizard Island, we dropped down to an area less battered by howling winds and explored a couple of spots we had not been to before, discovering Hope Island and Pickersgill Reef.

Life on the Ribbon Reefs is going along fine, although the snorkels are lack lustre. We have sunshine, light conditions, a leisurely pace. When not in the water we read, develop photos, snooze, eat, muse at our surroundings. We move every few days and see what we can find.
Over two weeks have passed since getting back to Cairns from the Coral Sea! Time has flown – a week doing errands and catching up with friends, a week at the Outer Reef which filled us with cautious optimism. So here is what we have been up to.
