The Stunning Attwood
Bay
The huge, shallow Attwood Bay - some maps spell Atwood, we'll stick with
Attwood
Susan
(Nancy Dawson), ashore for a beach walk
Michelle
(Mi Amante - far right) exploring the white sand
We passed the girls out wandering
whilst we spuddled on Baby Beez. The shallow lagoon
behind the harbour - a baby mangrove
We went to find out what the
seemingly 'black line' was - thousands of urchins -
the water about three feet deep
Heading back out toward Beez, the very shallow water took on a silvery
colour
The entry we used
yesterday shows sharp edged coral, millions of years
in the making
The opposite side, we passed the mushroom rock that had been on our left as we entered,
today complete with surf
Next we anchored Baby Beez and went
for a snorkel to see the biggest Lionfish, we have ever seen, Queen Angelfish and loads
more
Well as Julie's maiden name was Attwood, out came the dolphin we were kindly given by Carolyn as a keepsake
on Beez Neez. Julie had bought him on a holiday to Mexico (one day we hope to
get his picture there too). Here he is sitting on the side of Beez with the
beautiful coloured water behind him. We have aboard a tiny flower arrangement
that has a piece of ribbon from Julie's bridal bouquet and a little gypsophilia,
we took a tiny piece each and set it free on the water. We lost Julie three
years ago in May, but she is with us as a shiny star, forever - we can hear
her giggle at our choice of star.
ALL IN ALL
JULIE'S PLACE
NEVER TO BE
FORGOTTEN
