Beautiful Bays and a Sun Tan
Current Mood:
Happy & 
Tired
After our slightly disappointing stay in Denham we moved onto Coral Bay, we weren’t holding out much hope as our stay in the more populated Denham was a bit boring – so we prepared ourselves for the worst. We needn’t have though, the cabin we had booked was nice with a separate bedroom area and lounge/kitchen with a table – wahooo, modern amenities hey, how we miss them!
After checking in, we had a brief exploration. 5 mins later we had visited the whole of Coral Bay and had decided on the best spot. We went to the office and after handing over a total of $5 we walked away with snorkeling equipment for the day, we walked for 5 mins around the southern peninsula of the bay and swam over the boating lane, into the deeper part of water. The fish life was great and we spent over an hour swimming around taking snap shots and getting a tan on our backs. Knackered and needing a bit of shade we hit the beach and had a little nap. This is the life…
We ran into the girls in the evening, they had been there a few days longer than us and in the tradition of Scatt had spent everyday on the beach topping up their tans. We said we’d meet them the day after and hit the sack – tired and happy.

The next morning we met up with Marco and Leaz, the guys we had met at the Sea-Lions tour back in Green Head. They are a nice couple and good company. While Em, Lucy and Sarah had a sunbathe, Marco, Leaz and I swam up to the Shark nursery where the Black Tip Reef Sharks leave their pups to get bigger before they go out into the blue. We only managed to see a few though, one of them a mum as it was a lot bigger than the pups! With our Sun cream struggling to keep the sun from burning our backs we head back to base.
Marco and Leaz joined us for Sunset and finished up by cooking us the best Spag Carbonarra I think I have ever eaten. We laughed and chatted into the night, the drive to Exmouth is only an hour and half so we didn’t have to worry.
