While in Monkey Mia we took a boat cruise on a catamaran called the Aristocat 2. We first went to a pearl farm on the ocean where we learned things we didn't know about pearls, such as how they seed them, and how rare it is to find a pearl naturally made (very rare). Kevin gave a hand with the sails and Mercedes watched out for pirates. We got a ride in the boom net which drags behing the boat. The rope was a little uncomfortable on the behind but the kids loved it. We saw more dolphins that swam right alongside the boat, and turtles that just peeked up briefly. We also followed slow-swimming dugongs - just like a manatee only they feed on the bottom while manatees are top feeders (something new we learned). We also passed a striped sea snake swimming by.
