Ventures to Rottenest Island, WA
This
is the boat we took. It look small here, but it was big enough to take
a bunch of us (and our food and drink) all the way to Rotto in comfort
and style.
We
spent the ride lounging around the sides of the boat (except for me, Vibodha,
who had an hour of hanging off the back of the boat... blugh)
Sometimes
we got to stear the boat (I guess it was more like DRIVE the boat) however
it was enjoyable. 
And
from time to time, we even got to look cool, like Duncan:
The
ladies looked glam. Kind of makes you wish you were there, huh?
And
from time to time they even got to help out with the sail...
However,
finally we made it to Rotto, where there is nothing but sandy beaches and...
well... a little shop to supply all the visitors who stay in the cottages
dotted around the island. Cool.
So,
we sat on the pier for a few minutes and let our legs get used to solid
ground. 
And
I even managed to drive for a while (despite my unfavourable sea-fairing
stomach) and we made our way back to Perth.
Our
Skipper, Ernie, also checked his crab pots, and a particularly nasty one
even managed to wiggle in the bucket and scare poor Helen. Silly crab...
hope you liked the boiling later (well, he shouldn't have scared my friend.)
That
was our trip to Rotto. I hope you enjoyed the experience. May you be blessed
with the friends and means to take the trip youself sometime. I know I
will never forget it.
