We have had the most wonderful week here at North Minerva Reef    The weather has been just superb, we couldn't have asked for a better spell   We have had up to 26 boats in here so its been a busy place with dinghies buzzing around, paddle boards out, snorkelling excursion, lobster and fish spearing and reef walking 
 
The reef walking has been a popular pastime, many of us have commented it must be like walking on the moon except we are surrounded here by thousands of miles of oceans     We have taken some wonderful photos of our time here, blog posting with these to follow when we get to New Zealand
 
Departure date is tomorrow (Saturday here), 3 of the slower boats have left this morning to get a head start, but the wind is right on the nose, the rest of us are waiting for a more flavourable wind angle, fingers and toes still crossed!!
