We headed to Green Isle in Nonsuch Bay for a night before Alison had to head for home. While snorkelling I found a large whelk shell which appeared to be empty – however after a few minutes in the dinghy the occupier – an octopus – decided to make a break for it and leapt around the dinghy!

Thursday late afternoon we walked up to Shirley Heights but unfortunately there was no steel band playing but the view was still good!
