Second day on the Great Barrier Reef!!!

Today we went out again on the Great Barrier Reef! Now that the rain stopped, we thought it would be a great opportunity to see the coral and sea life in the bright sun. How wrong we were. The weather might have been beautiful, but the water was the complete opposite. We had a hard time seeing a lot of the wildlife due to a lot of rain the last couple of days. The rainfall caused a large amount of sediment runoff into the ocean causing the clear water to become murky. We didn't let this stop us from having a great time though! We were able to see tons of different types of jellyfish! We also got to spend some time on Green Island which had an amazing beach and also lots of lizards and birds as well! Despite the murky water, we still had a blast!
