With the weather closing in we take the opportunity for one last snorkeling adventure - and boy did we hit the jackpot! Bait Reef has some huge pinnacle like...

previously on s Viserion me he did
another dodgy repair job to our
navigation mount we were welcome to
beautiful bait reef by a giant trevally
then spent a few days exploring and
snorkeling it's beautiful underwater
wonderland well good morning
another beautiful morning here at Bay
truth and we've woken up and it's come
round to the north sitting around sort
of 0 to 10 knots it's a little choppy
here at the moment because we were
almost at full height so the wreath is
hidden so we're fairly exposed but as
that we're hoping that as it drops down
as it did yesterday that reef will
provide a bit more protection and we
will have another gorgeous morning of
snorkeling so yeah we've just been
absolutely blessed with the weather and
it's just magnificent down under there
under the water there lots of colorful
fish and because of the Green Zone here
there's no fishing allowed here and it's
such a wide variety of fish here and
they're just really happy to have you
hang out in their environment with you
so it's just beautiful beautiful so yeah
we're really looking forward to another
snorkel absolute head some brekkie
and
Dan's got a pet fish we've got this big
black fish that I think you might have
seen in some footage and he follows us
where we go and he's really friendly and
he hangs around the boat I think he's
actually hoping that we're having bacon
and eggs for breakfast this morning
but we're not we're having a healthy
fruit porridge so huh but he's a real
character and there's a couple of other
bet fish and whatnot sewing around under
the boat but he seems to have claimed
the vessel as his own he's the king fish
so uh he's pretty funny he pops out and
says hello every time we do we go and
have a look and check on their on the
mooring a bit of a character so we had
the most beautiful night last night the
stars were out they were just the whole
sky was just covered in these beautiful
twinkly stars and you can feel the
planets and we were really spoilt last
night and we just hung out here and
watch the stars twinkling away it was
just magic so I encourage you if you
spend a lot of time indoors to maybe the
people maybe this month make it a
challenge to go and hang out underneath
the stars because we just felt so
special and so connected with the
universe it was just a magical magical
night
yeah so that's about it if the weave is
going to close in sometime during the
night that's going to come a big
southerly bus is going to start ripping
up the coast so we'll have to leave this
afternoon and go and find some
protection so if you're cruising the
east coast of Australia I would
definitely put bait reef on your agenda
it is truly magical and the stepping
stone
just beautiful well worth the dive the
fish life here is amazing how lucky are
we the stepping stones are a huge
circular pinnacles with vertical sides
they line up in a row along the western
side of the reef we've never seen this
kind of formation before each pinnacle
rises from the depth and stops just a
meter from the surface and are covered
with coral of all varieties
we discovered a huge pinnacle at the
southern end of the stepping stones that
seemed to be teeming with life we could
see the current swirling around this
huge towering formation however the
visibility was clear and inviting so we
hopped in for one final snuggle
[Music]
we saw huge coral plates soft corals
with fans on the sides small colorful
tropical fish swarmed around the tops of
the stones large wrasse sweet lip cod
trevally and other fish cruise the
canyons the ledges and caves at depth
the Claire's were strikingly colorful
and cheeky clownfish lipped about

we feel like we need a bit more exercise
take the last sort of six months or so
we've been having that much physical
activity and it's showing anyway that
was a good workout so though you
probably won't see much footage radio
back to the boat we've definitely got to
come here again with the weather closing
in that evening we took advantage of the
nor easterly breeze to head for a more
comfortable anchorage we were sad to
leave out to such a short time but
excited to find such an amazing
playground and we made plans to come
back out and explore other nearby reefs
before we took off for distant shores
