The wind has died down but sadly it has brought cloudy skies. Not the greatest for snorkelling so Rowan went on his own, returning to the spot where he saw the 4 smallish sharks, this time there was just one enormous fat nurse shark which he reckons was 3m long!
The big one, obviously trying to catch something under the coral. Apparently Nurse sharks are the only shark that can lie on the ground like that.
We decided to eat with Romeo and Juliet on the beach again, poor things are getting so little business with no boats about. We can’t quite bring ourselves to have lobster so we ordered chicken this time. They were catering for one other table, a Danish crowd who had a lobster each, they looked enormous and delicious, much better than what we had in Salt Whistle Bay. Next time, now I know that lobsters don’t pair for life! As usual the huge boxy fish and spotted Eagle ray were waiting for scraps from Juliet, quite something seeing them swimming so close.
You will be relieved that there are no sunset photos tonight! I was too busy watching the magnificent rays.
