Wild dolphins on Moreton Island

21-2-2010 (Sunday)

We woke up early, except for Sharai. Zeb watched the end of Beemovie (without audio),Ruben had a walk on the beach and Sharon skyped on the balcony.
We got some milk and cereals from the convenient store and had a little picnic at the little playground.
We arranged a motorboat with a small sunroof from 12 till 2 pm and had a picnic on the water. We bought our stuff on the island and it’s really a rip off. Everything is double priced, but our lunch was great.
We headed for the wrecks in the sea, where many people were snorkeling. But ended at the shore, cause we had some problems with our anker. Sharon went snorkeling and 3 meters from the shore she saw an enormous stingray. So she headed to the boat again and was surprised by her swimming scales; this fast.
We really enjoyed our little boat-picknick-trip, but had some difficulty starting the motor again. Some huge aussiemen helped us out. Zeb took the wheel and the kids enjoyed.
Sharai did a nappy in the room and Sharon did some mailing and stuff on the balcony. Ruben and Zeb arranged our meet and greet with the dolphins for tonight and had a swim together.
At the end we were all in the room, made ourselves ready for an early dinner.

During diner we already saw some dolphins near the shore, saw the sunset and went to the jetty. This island is beautiful, as in “Couples retreat” (movie we saw in Surfers Paridise).
We were the first off all people waiting to meet the dolphins. Sharai on Sharon’s arm and Ruben held Zeb. We had 3 minutes; 6 fishes to feed and we all got the chance to hand feed the little dolphin. We stood in the water with the four of us and it was really special. 9 dolphins swimming around us in the crystal clear shallow water. Afterwards we went to our room, had a shower and relaxed. Tomorrow at 7;30 am we have to make sure all the luggage is ready for to be picked up….
Again an unforgettable, nice day
