So I am still working on the boats. And its still great fun. I finally got my first day off today!! WOO WOO! Finally! I really needed it. Ive been working staight from the 30th of June. So its nice to relax for a bit. We were doing 3 trips a week so pretty much we would pick people up on monday at 2 till Wednesday at 1, drop them off and pick up a new group on Wednesday at 2 and drop off on Friday at 1. Pick up Saturday at 2 and drop off Monday at 1 and start all over again. So I literally got one night off a week. So really really long days (usually from 6am till 9pm). But its crazy how many amazing people I have met. Although you do get the rude drunks, but I guess its all part of the whole experience. Last night we celebrated one of the girls birthdays from Airlie that I've met through Glen (the deck hand). Really nice girl. We went to her place and made cocktails with Watermelon, orange juice, lime, ice and vodka. Really yummy. The weather here is amazing at the moment. Had a bit of clouds for a couple days but back to blue skys now. Other then the trips havent been doing much else. Filippa left to go travel on her own. So its just Cecilia and myself now, with my Kelly coming to visit me soon! Talked to her on Skype this morning for about an hour. Can't believe she is actually coming. Its crazy. I'm going to have heapd of fun with her. Can't wait. But my time is up on the internet. Update you soon ♥

So I've been staying at the resort for about a week and a half now. And a couple days ago I found out that I'm going to be the host on the sailing boat that does the sailing trips to White Haven beach/ snorkeling... ect. So I just finished my first trip yesterday. And it was so much fun. Not the best weatehr but it didnt even matter. Saw so many things and had heaps of fun with all the people on the boat. I have another trip im leaving for in about an hour. So pretty much the trip is a 3 day 2 night excursion. We leave at about 2pm on the first day and sail over to the island. I take them for a bush walk then we eat dinner then do some drinking games and so forth. Kareoke has been really popular. On the second day we sail to White Haven beach, eat some luch then sail to Glen and Simons (the boat crew) secret snorkeling spot. Then head back to the resort. On the third day we sail out to do some more snorkeling then drop them back off in Airlie beach. Its pretty much the sickess job someone can have! And I get paid for it.  AHAH Bonus! Being on the boat is sick. I pretty much pull on ropes when they tell me to, They let me drive when they are busy, I keep people entertained, clean here and there, make some lunch, and enjoy the trip. Im having so much fun its unbelievable. Last night I stayed in Airlie beach to celebrate Canada day! And man was it fun. There was a bar where the owners are Canadian so they had a big party there. I still have "I am canadian" writen on my legs and it wont come off. So many Canadians. Its cool that even half way across the world we still get together and celebrate for our country. Hopefully everyone else had an amazing time! But I must go and catch my boat back to the island! I love everyone. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
