Near death experience 😂

Everything started when Captain Toby turned down the Britney Spears, yanked the handbrake on his 880-horsepower speedboat, turned to the passengers, and- wearing a face dripping with sympathy and a pair of Oakly cycling glasses - carefully inspected our hairstyles. None of us had the faintest idea what kind of disaster was about to hit us as he began announcing a series of protocols I would deeply regret not listening to just a few minutes later. Five-G acceleration from every direction, insane speed, the ocean’s shattered waves raining down on us, the passengers’ laughter - half thrill, half pure terror - and Captain Toby’s endless jokes… all of it combined to produce a blockbuster action movie starring me, one I will never forget. I’m genuinely glad I decided to do it. And thank you, by the way, for causing my mother-in-law to fall off the deck and become shark food. (Relax, I’m kidding—there were no sharks. The piranhas got her.)

Simply amazing!

We had our morning tour at 9:30am on 18 Dec. We had some much fun from the spinning of the boat and the waves on the way to the Broadwater. We reached the South Stradbroke Island past the Wavebreak Island and saw some of the beautiful secluded beaches. The tour was cut a bit short (about 5 minutes) though because of the participates were 5 minutes late and one of them threw up on the boat. Overall it was a fun experience.
