Shortly after arriving in Freeman Bay, Ben, Sam & Jess swam ashore to do their own thing. It didn’t take long before we noticed the boat getting covered and filled with fine sand which was blowing off the beach and elsewhere. It was horrible really so as soon as we could we shifted Dignity over to the other side of the bay. We have now lost our internet connection (darn).
We all took a walk to Shirley Heights. It’s an old artillery station about 500ft from sea level. A half mile path winds up to the top through trees with an almost jungle feel. Sam took a bit of persuading as he’d tired himself out earlier exploring the beach and rocks.
The views (in my opinion) were worth the climb. We explored the area atop the hills for a while before walking back along the road.
Back on the boat it’s curry evening. Yum.
Tomorrow we’re sailing round to the east side into Nonsuch Bay which we’ve heard is very nice. We may be a few days there gunkholing, snorkeling and hopefully using the Hookah for the first time.
