Hon Tre for Bang Bang
08 June 2006 | Hon Tre island Nha trang
Weather and wind are good, so we head south for Hon Tre Island to find a nice bay to anchor and swim for the day.
We pass Turtle Island, so named as it looks just like the name says, and we find a lovely little bay on the North Side of Hon Tre and drop the pick.
The water here is like gin and its looking good.
Di cooks up some food while I go for a quick swim and check the anchor, although I could see if fine from the bow.
We have a coffee, some beanies and eggs on toast then go for a snorkel.
BOOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!
What The F@%K !!!!
I pop up next to the boat and Di is already out of the water and says "They are Dynamite fishing" about 200 metres away !! Holy Crap !!
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM goes another stick and I shout to Di to get out of the water. This is not safe.
I grab the video camera and we sit for a while and watch hoping they will drop another stick for the camera but its not to be... scary stuff when you are snorkeling.
We decide after a while its not the best place to be and move round to Vin Pearl resort and chill out in a lovely little bay.
We chill out for a few hours, swim, drink and play some Uno, till the Radio crackles with "Riang Ria... Riang Ria"
Base is asking us what time we will be back at port tonight. Its our last night on the boat and they require us back in the port.. bugger.
They are out sailing and we can see them about 10 miles to the north so tell them we be back about 6 and decide to head for harbour when we see them on their way back.
Both boats pull into a messy port together and we watch as poor Melissa has to struggle with a bitch of a mooring bouy. Its howling, bumpy and this is a shipping port, so Di and I quickly decide we dont want to spend our last night of paradise here so ask Morgan (from Sunsail) if he can call the Ana Mandara hotel to get us in a night early... and the answer is yes... YAY.
A quick pack and off to shore to crack our last 4 beers.
