Saturday 23 July
\nEveryone was up early ready to head out to Hook Reef, unfortunately the weather had other ideas, so we just moved around the corner to Maureen’s Cove.
\nSue and Sandra stayed below deck playing scrabble. Safia took the helm again while Bram on the bow guided the way to picking up the new mooring as if they had been doing it for years.
\nNot long after anchoring it was in the water for a snorkel. After warming up in the sun and eating lunch it wasn’t long before Bram and Safia wanted to head back into the water.
\nAndrew took them in the dinghy across to Butterfly Bay. On the way they came across three Manta Rays, so it was overboard to check them out. It was more like the rays checking out Bram and Safia, as the curious rays kept cruising up to them. After about 20 minutes they returned to the dinghy to continue to the coral reef. They didn’t quite make it when yet they came across another group of rays just waiting to be played with.
\nIt was another 20 or 30 minutes before Safia and Bram remembered they came to look at the coral. Another half hour and it was time to return to Imagine for rest.
\nAndrew and Sue introduced the others to a boat burger for dinner.
