Agnes Water, OZ

Today, I dove on the Great Barrier Reef. The past two days I've been surfing, and I mean getting on the face, turning and actually doing what I'm supposed to, it's a rush. I awoke at 7am yesterday for a morning surf, and today it was 7am to catch the boat to the Reef for two dives. After two months of inaction, I'm starting to kick a bit, I suppose.

I've been bouncing around Agnes, staying with friends. I've spent the past few evenings at the hostel, Greg has granted me Bienke status here. And I've mended most of the relationships that I thought I'd lost. Not all of them, but that no longer really concerns me. Anyway, I'm wrapping things up here, getting ready to move on. There's a bar with a dance floor tonight and I'm going out to have a good time, I need one. So, cheers all, I hope y'all have pleasant weekends as well.

Finally though, to those of you who wrote me last week, I can't thank you enough. I've felt very alone for several days here in Agnes, but I took heart in knowing just how many places, and how many people that I do care about, and how many good people there are out there. Thank you.
