Since the last post in 2016 much has happened.<br />
<br />On 28th March 2017 Cyclone Debbie hit. Illusions had minimal damage.<br />

After a busy couple of weeks in not very nice weather we finally had a break in the weather on 23rd April. A glorious day....however....<br />
<br />
At approx 1130 we hit something. Two hits, one to the hull, which pushed the object down taking a huge hunk out of the keel. Best guess is that is was a fuel or water tank from one of the numerous vessels that had gone missing from the cyclone.<br />

All passengers were safety returned to Airlie Beach. Illusions was salvaged 3 days later but unfortunately was written off by the insurance company.<br />
<br />
Seven months later we found and bought a new vessel who was correctly christened Illusions 2 using old renaming traditions.<br />

It is now 5 months on and we are getting some great sailing from the vessel.<br />
<br />Next blog I will show the coral after the cyclone, and 12 months on!<br />

It was very calm, but still felt oppressive. On days like this we head across to Ravens Cove and Nara Inlet, a gorgeous spot on Hook Island.<br />
<br />
On the way over we had a mother whale and calf practicing their synchronized swimming. So wonderful to have got this shot of them.<br />

Lots has changed, but much has stayed the same.<br />
<br />
The boat has been refitted internally, new carpet, old carpet on walls being removed, various other modifications to the vessel have taken place.<br />
<br />We still do the same trip, and it is still Josef and I, Naomi, running the show.<br />The fish are mostly the same (though are dear friend Priscilla the Maori Wrasse has gone to the great big ocean in the sky) and we welcome a few new ones (Rambo is becoming the new male Maori Wrasse).<br /><br />The diving is still great, and coral bleaching is only something heard about on the news. Honestly it hasn't affected us at Blue Pearl on Hayman Island or Langford Island at all.<br />

<br />
We saw the 2 whales from yesterday again today. They had been close into Langford Reef (check out photos on the Illusions Whitsundays facebook site) yesterday. We suspected the female was about to give birth based on her behaviour. Today we saw the 2 of them again, with a little one with them!!!!! WOW.<br />
<br />
The viz has been great diving. Seeing Lionfish almost daily! Love these creatures.<br />

As they say "nothing to write home about". Sure we have seen dolphins, loads of turtles, but I haven't captured anything exciting on camera due to bad timing and technical issues.<br />
<br />
I still get excited when I see nudibranchs, gorgeous little yellow boxfish and puffer fish!!! And tremendously excited when I found an Anemone Shrimp, while pointing out a small family of pink anemones to a group of divers. Unfortunately non of them managed to get a photo for various technical reasons.<br />
<br />
The wet season came and went and wasn't as bad as expected. Thank goodness no cyclones. Though a few storms did slow things down a bit.<br />
<br />
We have been having absolutely glorious weather of late, the months just seeming to fly by with whale season to look forward too. So I will be dusting off my camera and keeping my eyes open.<br />
<br />
The other big news is that on Anzac day 25th April, Illusions was run into by another vessel which caused some damage to her. Click for link to article in <a href="http://www.whitsundaytimes.com.au/story/2012/05/03/businesses-affected-after-accident/" target="_blank">Whitsunday Times</a>. She has been out of service for over three weeks but should be back in the water shortly. There is a photo of the bow damage on our Facebook site.Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14938158572135103728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302377102382208697.post-16437468630313953052011-11-08T00:08:00.000-08:002011-11-08T23:03:03.102-08:00Big Fish and Strange Creatures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Clear blue skies, flat calm seas. And whales breaching all over the place.<br />
Mother and calf up close too. Seeing whales breaching off Blue Pearl Bay. Seeing whales as we were heading to Langford. Stunning!!!<br />
<br />
The diving today was also amazing. Gorgeous visibility. And I saw a Scrawled Filefish, for the first time.<br />

We have seen whales just outside Blue Pearl Bay a couple of days ago. Yesterday we saw whales as we were heading towards Langford Island. Today we saw them on the way over to Hayman Island and on the way back to Abel Point Marina! Amazing creatures. One of the whales today had a large pod of dolphins playing around it! Wow! <br />

We saw a whale today. The first one of the season.<br />
We now have a hydrophone on board and it was awesome to be able to hear the whale clicking!<br />

We have been doing lots of intro diving at Blue Pearl over the last week. The viz is getting better as the weather settles down!<br />
