Great article tim. I just wanted to reassure you that the reef is still pretty amazing. I go out there on a weekly basis. Although yes there is some damage, like you say mainly to the stag horn corals and table corals. Its not destroyed and still amazing out there.

the link there is to a folder of photos taken after yasi on the ribbon reefs and at osprey so u can see it still looks pretty amazing well in my eyes anyways. Thanks For sharing.

Nick

Bula Baby!Bula Baby!
It all started on flying in early on Friday the 22nd (a day before the rest of the crew, which were coming from the US). I received the most wonderful welcome and had a great time scoping out my new home for the next week and a half before having a great nights rest in my DOUBLE KING sized bed, meaning that it was about 4m wide (never knew they made beds that large!). I awoke to the sound of "Yeeeehaw" echoing through the place and knew at once that the Texans and the rest of the gang had arrived.
