Cyrene Reef (2 Dec 09)

It's our very last monitoring trip for the year, and the last one for Cyrene Reef. A very VERY small team headed out after a last-minute stress-inducing change in departure point. Straight into a gloomy sky with clouds over the Reef (marked by the orange beacon).
But we arrived safely, in the good hands of Jumari on the trusty dinghy, and immediately hustled to get The Job Done. There were only six of us so we each did a line on our own!
