Caroline - Things have now deteriorated on the boat. Murray is now wearing a skimpy rainbow coloured pair of less than speedos. They are barely decent when dry and completely see-through when wet. The boat man who saw them this morning said 'That's dem man'. I am still unsure whether this was praising Murray's courage in wearing them, or a struggle as to  what to say when seeing such a sight so early in the morning.

A short hop of less than 3 miles, so too lazy to put up the sails. The whole area is a mass of reefs and underwater rocks, so a lot of care is needed in the navigation. There is even an underwater volcano next to a rock called 'Kick'em Jenny' but despite recent eruptions there has only been spitting and belching in the depths.
