[status] We have had a relaxing day, especially after the unwelcome neighbours moved early this morning. As we were not allowed to do anything on a Sunday (it?s apparently against the law to do ?water sports? on a Sunday, which includes snorkelling) we had a day of reading in the sun. A few more boats left so we moved a bit closer in to hopefully get out of the annoying roll (alas it didn?t work). We reset our anchor but were worried we?d wrapped our chain around a bommie in the process, so Steve jumped in with snorkel gear to check, and also check the height of a few bommies around us. We figure this was allowed as it was a safety issue, not ?water sports?. We haven?t been struck by lightning yet so it must have been ok with God, and we haven?t been arrested yet by the local police. We must have gotten away with it - good thing there aren?t any meddling kids around! :D. We had a nice walk on shore and Steve managed to climb a coconut tree and nab a couple, and we found some cool shells on the beach. We?ve sussed out a nice looking lagoon and will take the dingy into it tomorrow morning, anchor in the sandy centre, and then have a snorkel. We?ve just watched a movie, so time for bed now. Night all :)
