We have had a hectic few day, yesterday, we snorkelled and walked the beach of Smugglers Cove, made it over to the caves (some had a snooze along the way!)



The guys had a huge snorkel over their with Brent, they must have been gone an hour!







Here they are getting a tow back with the dingy!



We sailed, so every one could have a snooze and made our way to Benures Bay, one of my new favorite spots and for a treat Bazza and Richie took the boys fishing in the Bingo Bus, they were successful!!!!!!! Heres Bob and his barracuda





In both fish pictures, look behind the fish, is that a bottle of vodka??

There was more fishing after dinner, quite a few tarpon hooked, none quite landed though!!

Which brings me to today, the last day, so we have to go big! I fed them all a hearty breakfast of my giant mutant pancakes, just to give them energy for the day, they were off kayaking and snorkelling to try to wear them off



Heres the snorkel boys, all ready to go



Kerry got a good picture of this cute turtle who had been circling the boat all morning



and a little ray



We had a sail and fish and we hooked something BIG! Bob was straight on it, here he is in action



We figure the fish shot down into the reef and by the time we had got sails down and stopped boats from driving over our fishing lines, we lost it! I would like to have seen what it was, it was big!

After all the mayhem, we wound up at Salt Island, Man Head Point, for a fabulous snorkel and the crew all went diving, it is the most interesting little dive, with the most diverse fish life, especially as there is no coral reef, heres a few of my pictures....



These are 2 different sting rays I found



There is a scrappy bit of reef in the middle of the bay, the fish life on it is amazing, the yellow tail snappers always manage to get themselves in the picture though!



2 grumpy groupers



and a pretty juvenille French angel fish
