Time has been flying by and I haven't been keeping up with this blog as I should. Dave has had a few days work fishing on a couple different local boats. He has caught his first Black Marlin, which was a little fella, but still an exciting catch on light tackle. The game fish season is approaching and he should get really busy over the next month. I have completed two 7-day shifts at my new job on Spirit of Freedom as a hostess. The job is cleaning, serving meals, tending to guests needs, and keeping the guests happy. The job is such a great opportunity and it has been very satisfying. Dives are allowed on the job, so that means I am getting to see the Great Barrier Reef and increasing my number of dives. The crew is awesome, so work is really fun, enjoyable, and rewarding. Both Dave and I get along great with the crew I work with, and we enjoy hanging out on my week off.
We have taken a couple of small road trips over the last few weeks. Considering Dave will be getting busy with work, we have tried to do as much exploring as we can afford before he is full on fishing. We went north to Cooktown, where we fished for GT's and went croc spotting. We also went about an hour south to a couple of local parks. We have seen some fabulous places within a small radius around Cairns. Australia is such a big country, it overwhelms us to think of the many, many places we have yet to see. We are just starting to scratch the surface of this beautiful place, and that makes us both excited for the months to come.
