Sunday 22nd May
Boat is still rocking around a bit and the wind is still managing to sneak over the island and serve up some gusts but noone’s too worried about that anymore because we have blue skies and sunshine!! Andrew, Jack, and Liz got to work getting the outboard running again, after it had been under water when the dinghy flipped, which was a success!
To celebrate, Andrew, Liz, and Toni jumped off the boat for a well overdue swim. Andrew and Liz braved the slight swell and did a couple laps around the boat but after what happened to the dinghy a couple nights earlier, Toni kept her distance.. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, broken up by lunch, laundry, and Jack spotting what we think is a very light coloured dolphin or potentially a dugong?
By the afternoon the swell and current had picked up slightly, but that didn’t deter Liz from getting one more swim in for the day. Although, this time when she went to swim around the boat the current was putting up a bit more of a fight. Toni threw her a rope so she could relax off the back of the boat without drifting away.
On to Great Keppel tomorrow, where we are hoping the waters calm and clear up enough for us to get in for a snorkel!
