Pacific ocean-Australia

Here I am again in the Pacific ocean off the coast of Australia. We are way out cause you cant see the coast anywhere. Just blue choppy water everywhere. And i do mean choppy. I tried again to snorkle this morning and was taking water in my snorkel and again got a tow in from the rescue boat. I have a friend in Dallas who says "nothing stops you"! Choppy water stops me. It scares me to death. I guesss this gives me a reason to come back to australia. They say the weather was beautiful last week, the waer was smooth the sun was shining.
The captain of the boat says this is what the weather forecast is for the next 10 days. So it wouldn't make any difference if I came back later other than my ears might be in better shape. The Polish guy Eric who has been checking the people in and out of the water was somewhat irritated with me. He told me yesterday that if I wanted to go in today he would get someone to go in with me as the open water instructors are free now that there class is done. He said it was rougher today than the first day and you know he was right. Thank goodness they were watching and could come and get me.
Another lesson in living in the moment. Enjoy the boat ride, someone is fixing me 3 meals a day and i don't have to do anything but eat, sleep, enjoy the view, finish reading the Lee Child book about Jack Reacher. It's disappointing that I am not getting to dive. But as the guy in Indonesia said, "It's your holiday." and I do want to come back on my feet and not in a box. That would ruin my day and everyone else's....
I can live vicariously through the other divers. The strong snorkeler said it was too choppy for her as well.
Tomorrow I am going on an excursion to the rain forest and to Cape Tribulation. Then I am going to airlie beach to a 2 day one night sailing excursion in the whitsunday's. Hopefully, the water will be calm there and there will be beautiful fish there.
