The Starfish That Ate the Reef - Free Range Sailing Ep 102

This week we sail 120 nautical miles out to the Swain Reefs in the Southern Great Barrier Reef. On the way catching a tuna that Pascale prepares for a delicious brunch. Jumping in at both Sanctuary and Sweet Lip reefs we discover that a lot of the coral reef has been affected by Crown of Thorns starfish and we share with you our experiences.
