Butterfly Bay

Thursday 9th September




We had decided to go to Nara Inlet on the Southern end of Hook island to day to find an anchorage were it would be devoid of swell and well protected, but first we went ashore at Butterfly Bay for some snorkelling.



The coral was not as good as Blue Pearl Bay, and fish not as abundant, but nevertheless enough there to make it worthwhile. The best snorkelling had to be done from a dinghy which you are not allowed to anchor on the reef, and we were drifting over a promising patch when the heavens opened and we retreated back to the boat. It rained on and off for the rest of the day.

We had lunch at Butterfly Bay and then motored to Nara Inlet, where we anchored right up the far end in a very tranquil spot. A good nights sleep was assured.



We had drinks on Cooinda and returned to Mica for a BBQ.
