BRUNY ISLAND PART II

While we were on Bruny we took advantage of an amazing opportunity. Seeing a friend had generously provided the cabin for us we spent some money and went on a cruise. Bruny Island Charters offers a cruise around the southern part of Bruny Island. This cruise was classed as one of the 100 greatest trips in the world and some of the folk we have spoke too (that had made it a point to try and see as much of Tassie as they could) said they had always wanted to see this part of Tassie. So after some thought and prayer we took this rare opportunity.

Above is a picture of the boats we took. They we reworked, high speed, ultra manuverable, coast guard pursuit boats. Totally awesome boats!!

Everyone one was given full body red rain coats. The boats were almost entirely open so rain and waves could come right in a soak us. We were ready for the wet but it was a very clear day and the ocean was calm so we stayed pretty dry.

Setting out for the ocean

Julia was really into it.

There were several sea caves and some blow holes.

The water washed up along the edge of the rocky coast and when it recedded left little water falls.

The color of the wather was just amazing!

Going alittle bit faster!

We stopped and saw some seals while we were out.

South Pole this way!

Staying warm and cool!

Heading back to port

It was a great trip and we saw quite a bit of God's creation we would not have seen otherwise.

Going to Bruny was a great opportunity and a blessing.
