Thursday 29th July
Another day at hook reef. Not a cloud in the sky very light wind. “Let’s go explore more of the reef” someone said. So after a swim we hauled anchor and headed across the reef. As we got close to the other side Andrew went up the mast to check for bommies while Lydia was at the helm. As usual as soon as the anchor was down Lydia was checking out the bommies near us.
We relaxed for a while, had an early lunch, then piled all the gear in the dinghy and headed for the edge of the reef. We checked out the outer edge of the reef. It was a straight wall that went from 2m deep to a dark blue abiss. The chart said 50m deep. We didn’t dive it to check if the chart was correct.
Checked out the coral and fish on the reef then Lydia wanted to see the bommies we had passed in the dinghy. Not wanting to swim all that way she clung to a rope off the back of the dinghy, being towed from bommie to bommie.
Such a busy day. We all had to rest the afternoon away. The sun is getting low in the sky so it must be sundowners time on the deck.
