We woke to a breezy morning. After breakfast we went to explore the island. Had a nice walk around, saw several noddie birds.
We also came across some campers, a dad and two sons that had come all this way in their tinnie to camp for a week who had packed all their gear including gas cartridges but had forgot the gas cooker. The dad asked if we would happen to have one on board. We weren’t sure as we have thinned out a lot of stuff on Imagine but after exploring the island some more we came back to Imagine and Andrew found we did still have it onboard (a bit of rust on it but it should work ok).
We had come back via some of the reef but by that time wind had picked up again so we decided to leave the snorkeling today. The dad and his sons were coming out fishing and stopped to see if we had found the cooker, which we happily passed across in exchange for a fishing lure (they wanted to give us something). Later in the afternoon after they’d been fishing they came back and gave us a couple of fish which Andrew filleted and Robyn cooked up for tea tonight. Yum!
Andrew went up the mast to fix the light at the top that was working intermittently. Unfortunately the lovely neighbours despite seeing him there decided it would be a lot of fun to take their speedboat and a jet ski past at high speed creating much wake! After seeing Andrew having so much fun, Robyn decided she’d go up the mast too! I do have to put in the blog today that Karl and Andrew worked really hard on cleaning the boat ….. read that as they spent a small amount of time cleaning the windows and Robyn and I are still hearing about it !!!
