On March 15, Julian and I selected Wavelength Marine Charters for a full-day boat trip to the Outer Reef of the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas, Queensland. It was a good selection. It took about an hour and a half to reach the outer reef and we visited three different sites. There were two marine biologists on board who helped us identify corals, sea cucumbers, sea stars, crabs and fish. We were surprised to find a place where the reef was still in such pristine condition—many fragile corals with colorful fish ranging in size from three quarters of an inch to five feet from nose to tail.
