Friday 23 September Blue holes

freshwater blue lagoon

 Oh we do like Oyster Bay. It's quiet, pretty, there's a nice resort and beach, free wifi which beams out to the boat and lots of things to do. Getting into the anchorage was possibly the trickiest navigation we've done this year threading through markers in the reef and only 40cms / 15" of water under the keel at one point. Eric anchored his big boat and took his tender through the route to check depths before either of us attempted it.


David as Tarzan



That was yesterday. After a wonderful night's sleep we were off exploring once more; up the river to a blue hole, a fresh water pool with giant banyan tree and rope swing. Young David was the most adventurous and climbed up the tree to launch himself across the water. He got a fat lip from the rope as a memento of his bravery. Our afternoon activity was a dive on the outer side of Turtle island. Healthy coral and nice topography, some fish and fair visibility.

In the evening we headed up the channel to Turtle island resort to all have dinner then it was home and early to bed for tomorrow we are going on the Millennium Cave tour.
