We went to Stonehaven and then onto Butterfly Bay, the Western wing this time. I had a great snorkel here, straight off the boat on the boogy board. Lots of beautiful fish and coral. It was also nice to just see the coral sand going onto the beach underwater, a new sight for me.
There seems to be a lot more boats around now all wanting to get a mooring. This was even more obvious the next day as we tried to get into Langford, Black Island, Blue Pearl Bay and even over to Cateran Bay on Border Island. Lots of boats and no empty moorings.
After a big sail around up in the top region, we came down to Tongue Bay for the night.
We did the walk to the Hill Inlet lookout and then motored around into the next bay Apostle Bay. After being surrounded by boats for the past week, it was strange to be all alone in this eerie setting. The weather changed and it became very still, humid and misty. By dusk we could barely see 100metres from the boat. Then strangely at around 8pm it cleared to millions of stars and lots of strange stuff in the water. Tiny crabs, small blue fish and even a small flying fish.
We are both having a wonderful time. Have I mentioned that yet?
When Capt M woke after a short afternoon nap and then tried to get back to sleep, he complained he couldn't. I said you shouldn't be tired you had a quick power nap. He replied "But I want a big power nap."
