Bear jumped up early and ran around about with his camera this morning. A ship is coming in. Yes dear, I’ll just turn over and have another hour, I feel five thirty a little early for this vexation. Guess what.................. I can’t wait a second longer.........

..............A full account of u-turn came forth.

To say I was thrilled when the skipper took his muesli to the cockpit for a front seat breakfast is an understatement. I got my hour.

I got up to find the Olomana of Avatu in fine form.

At nine we went to pick up Sofia and Blake (Windarra), timing our entry around the unloading.
 
 
BB Paddling 025
 
Around a dangling container, but plenty of strong men to help hoist Baby Beez.

A good go at rock pooling.

Despite the stunning pools.........

Bear couldn’t help watching the unloading.

The men worked hard and we carried on with our exploring.

A couple of nice pencils, time to cross the wharf and scruff about there on the other side.
 
 
BB Paddling 039
 
This side was more of a warm paddle in six inches of water.

Amazing to walk to the edge of the reef, but soon the tide turned and we moved on.
 
 
BB Paddling 058
 
Up, along the road and down to a cute little beach.
 
 
BB Paddling 057
 
Bear had plenty to watch.
 
 
BB Paddling 059
 
We swam in the warm, natural pools, close to the girls.
 
 
BB Paddling 036  BB Paddling 052
 
A nice fat worm and a soft star, scruffy with a piece of seed stuck to him.
 
 
BB Paddling 046
 
A good sized hermy (hermit), very hairy legs for rock bimbling.
 
 
BB Paddling 062
 
Homeward bound, with not enough wind, so the girls looked like they were having a tiff, facing in all directions – a rolly night in the swell then.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL GOOD BEANS
