We spent two days at Port Olry. We went into the village to see if we could buy some bread and fresh veggies but came back with only pomeloes (actually asked locals if we could get some directly from the tree!). We had a walk on Thion island and practiced with the casting net, so next time there are fish swimming around Imagine we could catch some (yeah right?).
Next we headed south and back to Hog Bay for a few days. Robert and Valerie explored the Bay in the kayak, while B and I went out into the Bay in the dinghy with the fishing rods and feed the fish. We all did a bit of snorkelling and laying around in the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Robert and Valerie invited us all out to dinner at the resort restaurant. The resort (Lonnoc Eco Beach Bungalows) was built by a local 35 years ago and had just been handed over to Alex the manager. We all enjoyed the delicious meals and couldn’t resist to the pancakes with local fresh fruits for the dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday the rain had set in again so we headed further south and back to Palikulo Bay. It was a long trip back going against the wind waves and tide. It was dark by the time we got here so we didn’t attempt to go though the reef to the anchorage. We anchored just outside in 20m of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
