Overnight the mozzie coil had burnt out and we were visited by a few mozzies, we lit a new coil and removed the mozzies for another few hours of sleep. This anchorage was very calm with only the tide moving the boat.

We wanted to again use the tide to get to our next anchorage, so we lifted anchor early. As I wasn’t feeling 100% I decided a pyjama day was in order. We motored the short distance to anchor behind Black Swan Island, we were greeted by a small turtle and plenty of fish activity. Unfortunately we didn’t succeed in catching any.

 

With these waters, they can dry to sandbanks with very small channels, so we like to keep an eye on our depth when the tide starts to run out. We anchored in over 5m of water but at low tide it was 2.3m.

I read a book in a day, while Dean fished and on occasion we caught the turtle spying on us. We had one little fishing boat checking his crab pots, other than that we had the place to ourselves. We enjoyed another beautiful sunset, before dinner & another peaceful nights sleep.
