Early start this morning to be on the beach by 8.30am to join in fun activities with the locals. A good number of boaties turned up for the fun. It all started with sack races, bowling coconuts, dart blowing, fishing bottles (fishing pole with string and nail attached, one had to get the nail in the bottled filled with sand and pick the bottle up by the nail and run to the rely member at the other end without dropping the bottle off the line on the way) bamboo pole raft race and finishing with musical chairs. Lots of laughs and fun had by all finishing up about midday.

Feeling a bit peckish after all the activity we stopped at the Bakery for a yummy pizza for lunch.

It was perfect conditions for an afternoon of snorkeling where we first went to the fish feeding wharf and snorkeled with hundreds of fish feeding them bread underwater. We were mobbed by hundreds of different fish ranging in size from small, pan size and bigger getting our fingers nibbled as well. Amazing parrot fish so many different vibrant coloured ones especially the deep purple ones.

From there a half hour dinghy trip in the opposite direction to a small island surrounded in coral and an abundance of various fish including small reef sharks, again crystal clear water with superb visability. Pauline finally comfortable with her mask and snorkel after changing to a non leaking snorkel amazed herself by snorkelling right around the island enjoying all the marine life. There were many different fish species with an average amount of coloured corals.

Having taken food out of the freezer a couple of days ago we decided it was time to eat on board. Our superb chef cooked us up a treat!
