We are floating offshore in the Coral Sea, about twenty miles out from Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia.
What lies below the surface?
The Great Barrier Reef!

Oh, how the great blue looks both magnificent and scary to me! Thank you so much for sharing the photos, this way I can vicariously experience what both fascinates me and scares me.

We are long back in NYC now (this was in August), and we spent only one day on the reef—but an unforgettable day!
