Sunday 19th June
We spent another day at Blue Pearl Bay. Everyone went snorkeling determined to find the underwater Mauri Wrasse sculpture. Andrew and Sue headed straight to the spot as they had seen it before. Toni and Jack followed suit, but Liz got a slight leg cramp so had to return to Imagine.
The bay looked like Grand Central Station when a charter boat unleashed a load of snorkelers on the bay. We found it interesting that the charter boat guide didn’t know there was a statue in this bay although he knew the ones at Langford Island and Manta Ray Bay.
This morning we headed for Butterfly Bay. Turning the point of Hayman Island we sailed into 1.5m swell and 20+ knots of wind (with gusts up to 28 knots). This meant several tacks to make it to Butterfly Bay.
Toni, Jack and Liz discovered a bommie with colourful coral and loaded with a range of fish life while snorkeling the bay. Andrew climbed the mast and replaced a couple halyards that were jamming. Then it was more chilling until dinner.
