A very pleasant and relaxing day in the marine park on a secure buoy. Not a lot done apart from some routine maintenance - we decided that we would not put the dinghy down but rather stay on board and watch the wildlife. Lots of turtles - huge ones and we spent some time trying to photograph them without a lot of success.Weather is looking a lot better although we still have 20 knots gusting 25 - we have anyway decided to head off for Dead Mans Chest tomorow morning and leave as soon as we are awake - and the earlier the better. It will be an all day passage but we know that even if we arrive late we can get into the anchorage there in the dark - famous last words. It would be nice to spend a day or so there as there is a nice restauarant on the beach. It will then be short haul across to Sopers Hole where we are hoping to meet up with another yacht.
