 Our letter
came via the W.I.C. dinghy (Wakatobi Information Centre) – a joy to
read.
 Time for a spuddle. We sat and looked
at in awe at this lady of the sea.
  Three storeys of ugly-elegance or
elegantly ugly.... Massive compared to the usual size local lady.
   We went out by the busy dredge operation.
 A local girl coming
in.
 Passing the
crane.
 We went over to the old breakwater made up of our old friends – the
concrete tetra jacks. To the left was fairly grey hard coral with the odd little
blue fish – as seen through my trusty snorkel bucket. To the right was tallish
grass, apparently the spinner dolphins here are tiny and come in at night to
sleep in relative safety before getting up and heading out at six each
morning.
 The
new wall looks rather smart from this side. Later, we were told there is
a plan to build a marina here in the future.
  Passing the next scoop.
 We
went back to Beez via the reef, at high tide we could probably
make it in to the anchorage this way.
 In between the odd bits
of hard coral we saw our old friends – not seen for such a long time, pin cushions.
 A lovely
sunset before it was time to head ashore for our ‘welcome’.
 ALL IN ALL A JOY TO BE
SPUDDLING
AN ENJOYABLE
SPUDDLE |
