Nice sail north to Lamen Bay - Epi Island - hoping to find Dougie the resident Dugong 👍
Minutes after dropping the anchor the biggest Turtle we have ever seen popped his / her head up alongside to see what the hell was going on ! Hope to see some more of him / her tomorrow.

All well on board Navara
