Even at 20 knots of constant blowing wind, it was less than what we'd been blown around before in, and we felt rather er, safe, in waking up knowing we hadn't budged an inch during the night. We'd snorkelled on our anchor after all and we knew we were dug in but good. But man-oh-man blowing wind and the shuddering boat... Thank Goodness for those offshore reefs although the surf was crashing loudly and mercilessly on them as well.

A simple morning. We enjoyed our coffee. Had some breakfast. (Who knew mangos could taste so good?). We'd bought a bagful of them, at $1EC apiece, back in Port Elizabeth. The lady said she collected them off her tree that morning. They were still sun warm. Oh and $1EC is like what, $0.33 cents apiece.

We packed our beach-bags. Had another bite of a bacon and egg wrapped tortilla, with some salsa thrown in, for Dave. Got into Dinghy. Sun-screen lotion and lots of it. Ice Water (and a few ice-cold beers just in case). And snacks. We had a few hours ahead of us. And there were a few islands calling our names. Off we go adventurin'... it's a tough job, but we're up for it !!

What we discovered were,



undisturbed white sand beaches



landscapes unparalleled to anything we'd ever seen before, the views just too much for our eyes,



Oh, someone's already here, I think they're hiding in the bushes... Let's move-on...



no-one here Dave !



Can this be for real ?



Views from up top,



and higher,



It's not all fun and games you know. Just so you know, we sweated and stretched as we clambered up slippery rocks, where there was nothing to hold on to,



unless you wanted a handful of very sharp needles, a scene right out of Bugs Bunny where Wiley Coyote might just zoom by at any moment,



and look at the dangers we had to avoid,



to see sights such as these,



or heights such as these,



and here's our home at the moment,



or better yet, up close and personal, going snorkelling,



where we swam with some very friendly turtles larger than I, followed a school of baby squid (or Octopii ??), puffed with the family of trumpet fish that made our keel their home, glided along with the impressive rays, and for the first time in a long time, got a tad sun-kissed in the process.

We apologize for not having brought the underwater camera with us. We forgot to charge the battery.

Warning Over.
