On 4th March I get ashore on Inglis Island at high tide early in the morning. The pristine beach is littered with plastic bottles, paint tins and everything else that floats away from fishing fleets. But there are hoof marks from small deer on the beach and some turtle tracks. I leave for North Button Island, have it to myself for half an hour then three other boats arrive. I get ashore, there is some litter at the west end of the island but the rest is quite clean. More deer tracks but no turtles this time. The water is clean and wonderfully clear but all the coral is dead from the 2014 bleaching.

There is no chance of uploading photographs before I get back to Thailand at the end of the month.
