Thursday 20 June Lizard island snorkelling

Most of the fleet sailed either yesterday or early this morning and 15 boats are now 5. We opted to stay for one more day. I wanted to snorkel and David wants to check the propeller and clean the weed from the waterline. I had a wonderful snorkel; such lovely reef and many, many giant clams in the shallow water.

As I was in the water I dived under the hull and checked propeller and rudder and all was clear saving David from having to get wet We cleaned the water line together, or rather I was on deck controlling the dinghy along the side and David was in the dinghy with the brushes doing the scrubbing.
After we finished that we brought the dinghy on board and stowed ready for a pre-dawn departure tomorrow. And then we did something it doesn't feel like we've had time, or weather, to do for a long time; we lay in the sun in the cockpit reading. Heaven.
