17thth October 2009 – Musket Cove.

 

A few of the cruisers decided to have a picnic day at Sandy Cay. Apart from the fact that the little reef a few yards off it offers some of the best snorkelling in the pacific with countless varieties of tropical fish to look at, it is different because it is only exposed at or below half tide. As a result a picnic has to be carefully planned. Tables with nibbles have to made to float as does the bucket containing the chips and dips. It shouldn’t be a windy day so the comestibles drift away, and above all you need good company.

 

The ultimate in al fresco seating. (Ever so very contemporary.)

Jo – Overdraft stressed out! (Or is that Stretched out).

 

Eventually our island disappears under the tide and we head home leaving not even footprints.
