We awoke to the sound of breakfast being prepared and met the rest of the guests on deck. Today would be a snorkelling day, we would hit a couple of different spots to enjoy the sea.  The first spot was a 10 minute sail away and we had almost the whole bay to ourselves.  It really was an awesome experience, although Manja said it was way more colourful 4 years ago. The captain explained that there was a massive hurricane last year, which damaged large sections of the reef and stripped many of the islands off trees. None the less it was a really awesome experience – I don’t actually know if I snorkelled properly before – if I did it was many, many years ago.

We did take our go-pros along, and recorded waaaaay too much footage 😂

We surfaced for lunch and spent some time on the decks as we sailed to the next spot for another spot of snorkelling.  Here we also brought out the canoe, which Manja and I decided to take for a bit of a paddle about…  Well, I paddled and Manja took videos mostly 😉

When we got back we relaxed on the boat for a bit, and saw these huge fishes just swimming off the back platform!

I was thinking of finding a place to record the sunset from, when the captain suggested we could just motor-boat to the shore and setup there.  So we did, and then headed back to the boat for dinner – Steak, cooked to our liking.

Well, to be honest it was slightly under-cooked, but it was still delicious. As we finished dinner, we went and collected the go pros. I would have love to leave them there longer, but the captain and Manja were right: It would be hard to find them after dark and leaving them there overnight wasn’t a great idea.

So we collected them and on the way back saw some big fish circling the boat.  Not big shark size, but definitely big enough: probably about a meter long.  The captain told us that they were completely harmless, and chased other fish which gathered around the boat. We spent the next hour or so spot-lighting and trying to capture them on our various go-pros and cameras.

Eventually we settled in for a comfortable evening on the deck, chatting away the evening with the other guests on board.
