Thursday 4th August. At 4am this morning the wind gusts started coming over the hill into the bay. Even though we had gusts up to 30knots we knew we had chosen a sheltered bay. After breakfast it was off to shore for Manuel, Heidi and Lydia.
Manuel and Heidi went off exploring, straight up the hill into a field of butterflies. They had a look on the map to see how far they’d crossed the island and realised it was a lot bigger than expected. So they turned back to the coast to explore the rocks. Lydia stayed with the dinghy and had a swim (shocker) and a lovely nap on the beach.
A couple arrived in the bay and had also gone ashore. Lydia met them on the beach and discovered they had just rented the boat with only 5 hours of training. They had just come up the eastern side of Hook Island sailing with the wind we were sheltered from. They asked Lydia if she thought they should have been wearing life jackets?
Thats why we stay away from charter boats!
This afternoon we went for a swim off the back of Imagine.
does that man ever wear clothes ?????
