So quiet

The sound of the water dripping off the oars with each stroke could be heard over the slapping against the hull as the dinghy glided through the water. The piece and quiet of the surroundings was broken by the occasional bird call coming from the vine covered jungle. The impenetrable greenery draped all the way to the water. We rowed along the edge of the bay. An old derelict house broke through the jungle at one point, with a track leading into the undergrowth. We didn’t venture in, just returned to Imagine and spent the rest of the afternoon on deck watching the ripples on the water and the sun getting closer to the horizon.

This bay was a vast change from this morning.
First thing this morning was peaceful before the other boaties woke up. We had already had our our swim and was having breakfast when it started. First one boat then another started chattering loudly and then the boat behind us started his on deck dive compressor. That was enough. We quickly packed up, hauled anchor and off. 

It wasn’t long before there was fish on the fish finder, so we stopped and tried our luck. It didn’t take long before we realised the fish finder must be a computer game, as it was showing fish but there was none to be had. We anchored at the nearby island, Sissia and Nolwenn and Fabien went for a snorkle while B made lunch.

We had just finished lunch when the rain came down and the wind went up. By the time we hauled anchor and made our way to a sheltered bay the sky started to clear alowing us to explore it.
