Creator's Key Takeaways
We've actually turned back towards land uh back towards Brisbane and uh later this afternoon or early this evening uh there's actually a sick passenger on board that needs to be uh retrieved.
There's been so much miscommunication on this cruise in particular.
We're still going to make the most of it and have fun ourselves.
It was a brilliant day and and I'll say that because you know we were up in the oasis as you saw earlier in the day.
