It seems all the rent a boats had the same idea. By the time we got there, there were 12 other boats in the bay. Thirteen boat onto 6 moorings doesn&#8217;t go. Our only option was to anchor in 19m of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasnt long before we were in the water. Guido and Nivi snorkelled the reef while Andrew and Sue swam around the boat, then sunbathed on the back deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten of the boats in the bay must have known each other as after lunch they left in a group leaving only two boat plus us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We quickly hauled anchor and moved onto a vacant mooring. That took a lot of energy, so it was back into the water for another cool off and swim. When back on deck Guido and Andrew repaired the bowroller that had lost its retaining pin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This afternoon it was time to teach the new crew how to play Pass the Pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Andrew blitzing everyone in the two games it was time to be serenaded by Guido on the guitar.\u00a0 Onto drinks and nibbles, enjoying this beautiful bay, the peace and quiet and &#8220;our fish&#8221; that always come to swim with us here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/OTQN2159.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1257\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/OTQN2159.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/?attachment_id=1257\" class=\"wp-image-1257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/OTQN2159.jpg 640w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/OTQN2159-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0 0 Straight after breakfast we headed back to Blue Pearl Bay.
