The morning dawned bright, warm and beautiful to sunny skies and chirping birds. Mid morning brought a sudden shower which dampened everything and made the air cool and crisp, hopefully bringing some green to the airstrip.
Glassbottom boaters jumped on board to see the bushy blows of Humpback whales way out on the horizon. Slinding in at second reef, the snorkelers found one small white-tip Reef shark which they followed down the length of the snorkel rope. Schools of Fusiliers and Trevally engulfed snorkelers and Parrotfish swam on by munching on algae that grows on the coral.
Interested historians took a walk of the island this morning deciphering the islands past and how it has become the eco-friendly resort it is today.
