[status]After too a short stay at Minerva Reef we are just about to get underway again, and while we would have preferred to stay for a few more days, as is often the case, the weather dictates our movement. A breeze associated with squally conditions has been forecast for today, Sunday, so after the very light wind conditions of last week there is going to be a mass exodus - at last count yesterday there were 24 of us anchored here. I can hear the crayfish breathing a sigh of relief. We had a great day yesterday - very social, with morning tea here, afternoon tea there, sunset drinks with the neighbours..... but best of all was the AMAZING snorkel we had just outside the pass. Stunning corals 'decorated' with antheas, royal angel, clown, trigger and job fish, a school of trevally, peacock trout, sweetlips, and of course sharks. The visibility was around 30m. yip, AMAZING.
