Saturday we went on the Sydney Pelagics and Nature Watching Tour (the above photo was taken by someone on our tour). This is no little two or three hour tour, it's an all day affair. The boat went out to an area where there is an underwater mountain where fish and sea birds tend to congregate, and then to the continental shelf. We saw several species of albatross, which are quite majestic and graceful since they have such a long wingspan. We also saw a few other bird species we hadn't seen before, several humpback whales. and dolphins. Bird photos can be seen in Michael's Flickr album (the new photos are mostly under the "Albatross, Petrels, and Shearwaters" heading. The trip was pretty fun except for the two times they stopped the boat for extended periods and it was rolling from side to side quite a bit, making us not feel so great. I could have done without that. As soon as we got moving again, though, things were fine and it was a nice, cool, sunny day to spend out on the water. After returning, we had another delicious dinner at Micky's and relaxed.
Sunday was all frisbee all day. We played in a local one day tournament, mostly with and against friends and local rivals. It was good fun and we brought home the victory. And now we are sitting on the couch under a big warm blanket nearly about to pass out before 8pm.
