Days 66 to 68, Goldsmith island


We sailed late yesterday afternoon to Goldsmith island, a small run of about 10 miles. The island has 2 very peasant bays on its northern side offering good protection. The first bay has a little nook in the reef in which you tuck the boat into to get away from any swell wrapping around the point. This proved a little difficult to define, so we ended up in the next bay.
We have a fair amount of fringing reef around the bay and it proved to be quite good snorkeling. It was a great surprise for Hayden and I to find a lobster in about 4m of water under a small ledge.

The sunsets just keep getting better and better! This can be our highlight of the day. Kicking back in the cockpit of the boat, having a nice red wine or 2, waiting to see what is dished up. Nothing special, but a very special time.
