We woke up early in the morning at Blue Pearl Bay and after a morning swim and a nice breakfast we moved to Luncheon Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some challenging sailing for Nivi and Guido, we arrived to Luncheon Bay just in time for some home made (maybe boat made) bread sandwiches.  Beautiful snorkel with plenty and funny batfish. We missed the Mauri Wrasses tho, who made friends with someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got some more protection from the swell at Maureen’s Cove later in the afternoon, where Nivi and Guido had an endless nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nivi is cooking tonight… it is said that she knows what she is doing, we shall see and report again tomorrow. Andrew and Guido played Pass the Pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: this is Guido. I hate pass the pigs!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Nivi was in the galley cooking up a storm we had a game of boat dodgems trying to get to the calmer mooring we had been waiting for.  The marine parks boat had been on it. Another yacht came into the bay and was also waiting. The parks boat finally left and it was on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone jumped up, Guido had us unhooked from the mooring in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sue at the helm and it was all ahead full steam. The other boat had deployed a dinghy and was heading for the new mooring. That didn’t slow Sue down. Neither did the screams and shouts from the kids in the dinghy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they were shouting something from the other boat, both Andrew and Guido said they couldn’t hear what they were saying.\u00a0 Well, they didn’t start moving their boat fast enough (they didnt stand a chance) and to be fair we had been waiting all afternoon for the mooring.\u00a0 We had also come across this same boat that had hogged the moorings at 2 other bays we had just been to, it must be karma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
