We didn’t do too much today. The biggest excitement was a bit of snorkeling / diving on the nearby reef. Loads of fish and colourful coral.
The winds have been pretty weird today. Until now we’ve been in a bit of a wind funnel as per the guidebook. Today the winds in the bay have dropped right down and varied from every direction. The boats in the anchorage don’t know where to point. Because no one has exactly the same length of anchor chain/rode out, each shift brings some boats close together and some apart. It’s a little unnerving.
The big puzzle was finding a small bolt on the foredeck. No idea where it came from. I studied everything up the mast with the binoculars and can find no obvious source. Perhaps it came from one of the equipment bags I shifted to get the dive gear out.
Tomorrow we’re off down the coast – a massive 8nm to Pigeon Island. Here is the Couteau Marine Park where the diving and snorkeling should be excellent.
