Stanley Island
Ashore
 After lunch we set off for a spuddle.
Beez happy in the sunshine.
 The whole bay and
beach to ourselves.
   Ashore.
 Amazing to think the girl is all that way out with three metres below
her.
  Treasure
and mangroves.
 How these trees
manage in salt water is such a mystery.
   The parched sand still has plants and flowers.
 A bimble along the
beach.
   We saw so many rays, the youngsters
were a golden colour with blue dots and tails but were too skittish to picture.
The adults didn’t mind posing for a few minutes
before they too shot off.
  This hermit
crab was too shy to come out on Bear’s hand but scuttled off the rock.
  We think his shell
may be a little too big for him – bit of a struggle.
 After exploring the far end of the beach it was time to head home for a
game. I lost five nil at backgammon but after a straight of sevens wins I needed
a change. Cheeky monkey. I lost badly at
Mexican Train but we ended up evens at tri-ominoes.
ALL IN ALL OUR OWN DESERT
ISLAND
PEACEFUL WITH LOVELY SEA CREATURES
