TO St Vincent’s 

Hi to everyone at school. Thank you to the wonderful support and send off on Friday… The boys are still talking about it. Thanks esp to my class for the surprise birthday party… Loved it. 

We have had an amazing start… Must be all those prayers and best wishes. The waters have been pretty calm and beautiful weather. I am learning so much about tides and currents and how weather can affect these. … You see we never stop learning. Some of the mangrove plants are in flower… See Deans photo yesterday. The grow these long torpedo seeds which, when they drop spear themselves into the sand and begin to grow. I saw a helmeted friar bird… The have a song like Year One students chatting to each other… It is really funny. They have a big tail and chase flying insects. 

Today Dean had a huge dugong come up beside him and again we saw dolphins… We rub and tap the sides of the kayaks and it seems to get there attention. But we have absolutely no luck fishing yet… Oh well can’t win them all. 

Off to bed soon, … It may be an interesting night. There are Beach Stone Curlew birds around and at night they make this sound like a haunting cry… But they are only cute little birds. 

Anyway, thank you 1 Yellow, and the amazing students of St Vincent’s. I will continue to share our journey with you. Sorry no pictures today… Can’t download them. MS
