While Roy practiced his flying skills, Elaine enjoyed a paddle in the water and entertained herself with the hermit crabs, followed by a meditation session after settling herself down on her beach towel. By then Roy was ready for a paddle, so Elaine had a second paddle. Unfortunately, there is always the downside to these beautiful beaches no matter where we have found them during our circumnavigation; the washed up garbage. However, in this instance, visitors have cleaned the beach and piled the garbage up in a far corner; better than nothing. As for us, we take only our memories and leave nothing but footprints.
Back onboard, after a morning coffee, we jumped back in the water; this time to enjoy a snorkel, test our underwater camera and for Roy to finish cleaning the hulls and saildrives, now that he could actually see what he was doing in the clear water. Needless to say, the fish loved the clean hulls too.
Spent from all our fun, it was time to while away the remainder of our morning in the cool breeze of the cockpit before having lunch and getting our baking activities completed; bread for Roy and gluten-free savoury cheese balls for Elaine. By mid afternoon, though, we’d retired to our cabins for a well deserved afternoon nap. By the time we surfaced, the last of the fishing boats had departed, but replaced by another yacht which arrived early evening.
Sundowners, dinner and stargazing, complete with a number of shooting stars and the Southern Cross hanging low in the night sky, wrapped up another day in paradise!
