Our early start for the ‘Indians’ – a group of rocks with good snorkelling- was not early enough and all the moorings were taken so after a look at the ‘Bight’ and a short snorkelling stop in Kelly’s Cove we headed to Benures Bay on the North coast of Norman Island where we found a superb anchorage. Good shelter, clear water and few charter boats! The snorkelling was excellent with turtles, rays, good coral and plenty of fish.
