No Barrier to Fun

Deloris St. John (“More Than Just Carsick Near Cairns,” Letters, Feb. 3) complains about choppy seas on her Great Barrier Reef trip and suggests that going to an island will solve that problem. When the ocean is choppy, the viewing is poor whether you enter the water from land or boat.

We also took a boat to a pontoon last July, and we had a wonderful time snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. Luck and timing helped, and, of course, checking the weather.

We stayed in Cairns and enjoyed every minute.
