Snorkeling at Sandy Island then Tyrell Bay

Balvenie

Thu 9 Feb 2012 22:00

Spent last night at anchor off Hillsborough and today stopped at Sandy Island for a snorkel, Not bad at all, coral not great but lots of fish. Felt a little windy and exposed to stay the night so we have come around to Tryell Bay, its busy in here but looks lovely
