Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef Arrival of Pilot


Its been 3 days at sea to get from Sydney to Cairns which is located on the north east coast of Australia. Didn't see much sign of life most of the way up. Once we arrived in the Barrier Reef area we started to see lots of private yachts and other cruise ships. The Queen Mary was at anchor along the way up, also P & O Arcadia was in the area. This shot is the pilot boarding our ship at about 12 knots at the entrance to Cairns. I did not get to see anything of Cairns as when we docked a large caterman pulled up along side us and the ones going diving and snorkling on the reef jumped on. This trip was 1.5 hrs each way.
