We left the resort early as we had just over 40 nm to
go. Fortunately the wind picked up again around midday so we had a lovely sail.
We arrived at the lagoon around 2 o'clock and carefully made our way in with the
waypoints from "Mr John". It got as shallow as 0.9 m under the keel, but we
found a nice sandy spot and anchored with 2.3 m under the keel. After
putting the dinghy in the water we went ashore to have a look around. This is an
uninhabited island, so we are all on our own in this bay with a long white beach
and turquoise blue water.
We are spending a second night here and are taking time
today to get some of the small jobs on the list done. Way to go in
surroundings like this!
Tomorrow we'll move on again.
