Open Waters and Outback Again...
Autor: Doushite
So, we survived the Boat Trip!!
We got on the boat on the 14.6. but we had a problem with the power and we coulnt get fuel coz the credic card didnt work. so we had to anker outside the marina and finally started on the 16.6.
We had 2 groups first, 3ppl each, Steve, Eva & Me and then Bart, Therese & Julian.
3 hrs shifts each, but soon we changed to 3 Teams and 2 hrs shifts.
0000-0200 - Jules+Steve
0200-0400 - Therese+Bart
0400-0600 - Eva+Viv and so on..
2hrs work, 4 hrs off like sleeping, eating, reading a book, whatever..
I finally got rid ov my farmers tain!!!
We had a lot of fum on board, but we had a lot ov horrible moments as well... it took a while to get used to the sleeping times. and then u have to wake up and just steer a boat for two hrs. at least we werent alone on shift.
the second night, eva and me were sining disney songs, coz the moon, the stars, the clouds and the sail reminded her on the scene of Aladin. So we sung<3
And then we saw the brightest shooting star ever!!
Its so cool and enjoyable, when u steer a boat, un stand there, need to stay in course, orentate urself with the stars, southern cross ahead most of the times. And there are a lot ov stars... heaps!!!
It was amazing. the seabreeze all the time!!
And then sunsets and sunrisings<3 It was lovely!!
Us girls got really close on this trip!!
Someday we had a bird on board, and everybody took athousand pictures.. it was my shift then, so i was steering and eva was sitting in front ov me, so, this fucking bird shitted on us........
TWICE!!!
How unlucky can a human being be..
second time, after we washed ourselfs, we were lying on the bench.. so different position, bird as well, and then it flew to us, like an arrow.. in both our faces, again.....
Disgusting.....
But we had heaps of fun times!
One night we played armwrestling coz we were so bored XD
I read i whole book, tho..
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami! LOVE! Awesome book!!
Everybody was a little seasick, jules and eva a bit longer, but therese was fit! but her kneecap popped out but shes okay right now. One day i was RLY sick, but after it was okay tho...
We needed to get used to be inside, outside ur never sick, or less..
To review everything with one expression.. it was absolutely worth it!!!
Now the Story.. the engine broke down... Luckily we were on a sailing boat.. but we coulnt charge anything.. ipod, camera.. no floating water.... no fridge....
btw, we had to shower with a bucket, saltwater.. it was an adventure!
also the dishes were done in this bucket, tho, we coulnt do it one day coz we had jellyfish in the bucket, very small ones.. so the very dagerous ones..
also we saw seasnakes, the white ones with the black stripes, one bite and u got a few minutes to live...
we also saw turtels and dolphins<3
And the glowing plankton *____* like when it moves, it glows, so we had a line of diamonds behind the boat<3 it was AWESOME!!!!
anyway.. we had to stop by at Horn Island on the 26th and we needed to anker... tho, we had a little airboat with paddles, which we needed to get on land with.. paddeling... it was fun.... XD
after, we had two days to sort out what we would do, and we decided to get off the boat, and get a car from mainland, Cape York, down to Cairns..
We stayed a night at T.I. and we went to a Indiginous Art Festival. We learned a lot of the Strait Torres culture.
On the 30th we got the Ferry from Thursday Island (between Wednesday and Friday Island XD) to Seisia on Mainland. Apparently we coulnt get a car hire down.. we needed to split up. Two of us would catch a plane on Monday morining for 434$ and two of us would get a bus down for 196$..
Therese and me got the bus yesterday. 9am on monday to 2am on tuesday.. 17 hrs.....
but finally we are in Cairns!!
All of us!
