This morning the kids went ashore to take a look at the east coast around Spanish Point. The landscape is very rugged there with pounding seas crashing against ancient volcanic rock. As soon as they had dinghied back we motored around to the west side of Cocoa Point. It was only two miles but the challenge was avoid the coral. We had both John and Helen as lookout on each bow.
One thing I don’t mention enough is how well Helen is looking after all of us. Recently she has been trying out different ways to make bread. All very delicious. Today she made pizza base upon which she put pizza topping. Simply heaven. After lunch Helen and I tried out the Hookah but it was a bit disappointing as visibility was terrible.
All of us bar Helen have played on the beach. I don’t recall sand as perfect as this. It is utterly clean, no trash, and has the most amazing building qualities I have seen – almost like instant cement but at the same time powdery sand. It makes building beach constructions very easy and fun. I certainly enjoyed being a kid for a while. Tomorrow we may head further west to the 11 mile beach that runs north from Palmetto point. It’s utterly deserted. Met a Norwegian yesterday who said his family had had it to themselves for three days.
