Beautiful afternoon and only 2 other boats in the anchorage.
We did a bit of exploring in the dinghy and came across many reminders of the habitation of this bay by 'Hard Luck Charlie', including, mango trees, pineapples, coconuts, garden plants, a rail slipway and the remains of his home.

Bright orange starfish were scattered throughout the seagrass beds
Not quite ripe yet but there were several immature pineapples scattered throughout the undergrowth

Full moon (not a bad photos considering a rocking boat and no tripod)
We didn't hear or see 'Iguana Dance' on Saturday so made the call to move to Placencia on Sunday. We later learnt that they had gone past on Saturday and called frequently on the radio but we were monitoring Ch16 and they were calling on Ch68. That plus a bit of miscommunication and we missed each other. Our trip to Placentia was a bit exciting and the photo of the clouds below should have told us something.
Lovely sunrise but clouds building and a squall out to sea on the far right.
