A postcard from the great barrier reef

Dear (insert your name here),

We're having a swimmingly good time on holiday! Steven and I are now certified scuba divers, and though we saw many sharks, none of them tried to take a nibble. Steven took some cool underwater photos, which we'll try to post soon.

We did have some excitement on the dive boat, though. Our mooring line snapped the first night, and we nearly ran aground on the same reef that stranded Captain Cook. And I just thought I was some landlubber who couldn't fall asleep on a boat!

Stay tuned for our next card from NZ, and thanks for taking care of (our place/my orchid/the tivo/baby/the batmobile/those crazy customers/that crazy horstmann of your choice)!

Love,
