Sailing Monkey Mia



This morning, Mark, Michelle & I went for a coffee & rang the tour for Aristocat 2, which operates out of Monkey Mia. Booked for the 1.30pm tour. Got there around 1pm & had a look around. Boarded the boat about 1.30 pm, it left at 2pm. I was extremely nervous, as boats & me, not a good mix. I started to enjoy myself & was fairly relaxed after ½ hour. We berthed at the Pearl farm for a tour, to learn first hand how it’s all done, from growing to grading. When we got near the seagrass beds, where dugong are known to feed, they shut down the motor & unfurled the sails & we sailed over the grass beds. We actually saw a few & on the way back, some dolphins escorted us back to the jetty.
