Finally clear blue water and white sandy beaches and the suns shines. We also have wind again, it blows quite hard here. We arrived after a good overnight sail, we had to slow down a bit to arrive at first daylight. A busy anchorage, more than 10 boats. Duncan went ashore and climbed up Cook Lookout. This gave him fantastic views over the area. This morning we went snorkeling for the first time this season to see the giant clams; and they were big.. also very colorful. Then after coffee we went for a walk to the other side of the island to see the Blue Lagoon. That was beautiful with white beaches all to ourselves. Late this afternoon we'll lift anchor again and sail off into the sunset to the Flinders Islands. We are doing all this together with several other boats we have got to know on the way.
