This flat island sits on an immense coral barrier and is an aquatic universe of extraordinary measure which has been the focus of the island's fisherman for all of it's history. Their ancestors have been known as pirates and later notorious wreckers whose victims litter the long coral bank which stretch miles south of the mainland and because it's awash, has been a deathtrap to ships at sea.

It was our hike thru the mangrove fringed lagoons today that had Dudley cringing at every turn with his knees objecting too! We were still in search of the flamingos we were promised to observe...but it was these vistas of low lying flora that struck us with awe this early morning we chose to explore by foot.
