Back at Ilot Maitre after a brilliant sail this morning, loads of fish action and feeding birds for entertainment.
Great windsurfing afternoon for Si, and lovely snorkel for me.
Of course this was the occasion I didn't take the camera and did see a very laid back Loggerhead turtle, who just stayed there on the bottom watching me as I watched him, we just hung out for 3-4 minutes. Could have taken wonderful photos . .

lumpy hard on start with a miserable negative 2kt current which we lost at 5pm thank goodness. Heading for Lord Howe! I hear it is nice there. Wind should back tomorrow and at least we have sun.

Yesterday had amazing paddleboard for 2.5hrs, we circumnavigated 'our' island and Ile Abu adjacent. They are mushroom shaped with rough jagged rocks around the edges, crowned with an assortment of foliage. Crystal clear water, assorted fishes in assorted sizes, dozens of turtles and numerous kraits (sea snakes).
