Monday, we sailed north from Cairns. We passed through a number of sections of the Great Barrier Reef,
 |
| A small coral island |
 |
| the hull of an old boat sits on one of the coral reefs |
 |
| the turquoise area across the middle is a coral reef near the surface |
on the mainland, the white is pure white sand that they export
 |
| another low coral island |
 |
| Other ships were also traversing the reefs. Each has a Reef Pilot who guides them through. There are several channels of deeper water used by various size ships. |

 |
| a school of pelicans swam by |
 |
| another reef below the surface |
 |
| and another reef |
 |
| The mainland. This was caused by tectonic plate shifts |
