At four o’clock today we leave Port Maurelle for the overnighter to Lifuku in the next group of islands called Ha’apai. After breakfast and a few games we went for a snorkel, off to the left of Beez Neez. Every time we have ever seen these little green chaps, they hide in a flash, today we are going to stalk them until they come out.

By contrast these chaps are not camera shy at all.

This chap appeared from nowhere and leapt into the picture, I was aiming at the little blue fella.

Visibility was not perfect after the high winds and heavy night rains we’ve had for the last few days .

It took a while for the boys to gather and feel at ease.

En route back, the buoy we were tied to was a nursery for real itsy-bitsies.

Beez herself provided shelter for many and Bear in the blueness.
