Great Snorkelling after a bit of trek in the Dinghy to these out lying rocks.
We saw a large school of Tuna and a Ray - along with amazingly diverse fan corals. Another great spot. We feel very lucky to be seeing such amazing things. Travelling by yacht / boat is brilliant, you get to snorkel in places that people rarely get to, you can have lunch in fantastic boutique hotels where you would pay a fortune to stay and you can turn up to the beach and if you don't quite like it - move to another. Obviously the cost of the boat has to be taken into account, however, after that the cost of living is low. Since the 10th December, we have used 400 litres of Diesel, 3 small gas tanks and 15 litres of petrol for the outboard. This has provided all our fresh water, 2 fridges, all our cooking and "heating" - no we haven't needed that! I am ignoring the cost of wear and tear on Pau Amma - when I think about that I have to reverse my opinion! The cost of food is quite high out here but everything you need is available. We have started to get a reasonable amount of Fish to assist. WiFi is also relatively expensive. Overall - a fantastic way to explore the Caribbean.

Today we are going to a Museum about Nelson - his wife was from Nevis.
