Arriving at Mission Beach, Queensland we visited a local friend, Captain Perry Harvey who had a popular day-trip tourist charter boat servicing Beaver Cay Reef, M/V Friendship.

| The year before starfish killed the entire reef. Perfect weather, low, low tide at midday. No breeze. MV Friendship wth Capt. Perry Harvey. |
The following day was a private charter on the lowest tide of the year which would be at midday, (and by chance with a blue sky and no breeze) so we were invited to come aboard for a visit to Ellison Reef a pristine reef not normally visited by tour groups. Less than two years afterwards the entire reef would be destroyed by Crown of Thorns starfish.
