anchored just off Mud Island outside Brisbane Harbor. Harbor is now closed - waves of 6 meters (about 19 feet) and gale forces around 65 knots. We're here until the captain says otherwise. I guess the pilot had a pretty rough transfer onto Voyager when we pulled into Brisbane yesterday.

I'll try a few photo links from the animal sanctuary.

Off to hear about the Great Barrier Reef from our pilot-turned-guest-lecturer.
