We had a bit of a bumpy ride getting
here and we were surprised how flat the anchorage was, giving protection
from the southerly swell as well as the old north west swell which gave
us the lumpy ride in. It is also a very beautiful anchorage. |
| The small island joined to the beach
by a spit has impossible cactus growing out the top. The beach the
other side of the island was too shoal to anchor in, but this side gave
good protection for two boats. |

Here you can see Seafire and
Scottish Mist between the two reefs. When the wind started to blow
over 25 kts we both put out a 2nd anchor for fear of dragging on the
nearby reefs. |
| A trail led, behind the beach, to a
great vantage point where we took most of these photos. |

A close up of the island shows the
giant cactus growing out the top. |
| It is this reef and its jagged rocks
which gave the anchorage such good protection. The jagged
pinnacles had giant bird of prey nest's balanced right on the top and we
watched them feeding young ones through the binoculars from our cockpit. |
 |
 |
This cheeky diving bird was really
attracted to our boat and stayed with us the whole time we were anchored
there. He was such a good swimmer and we watched him catching fish. |
| The yachty shrine had boats recorded
as far back as 20 years, they were really interesting to read, some
carved in stone and wood, some written on shells and even a shoe. |
 |
 |
We added a 'Seafire' shell mobile as
a record for future visit's. |

| Windy enough to play with the kites,
Doreen flies her's high and Bob picks his out the water. |
| The end of another perfect day in
paradise. |
