Quinn spends most of his waking time in the hammock at our end of the island.
Another wonderful breakfast of Pawpaw and poached eggs. Reminds me of my first breakfast on Zanzibar. The Jays tried to steal my pawpaw. Tighe really enjoys the Danish pastries for breakfast, and
Quinn has had an omelette every morning.
Took the glass bottom boat for Tighe to view the coral. It was different seeing the coral from
higher above instead of floating next to it, and closely over it.

Tighe managed to scrape his foot last night, and it stings
in the pool, but not in the sea, so we spent most of the day in, and around the
water.

Swimming with sharks has been on my bucket list. Today while
out on the reef I watched a huge tuna swim by. My heart beat a lot faster when I noticed the shark
following. A white tip reef shark,
fortunately it was more interested in the tuna, instead of me! It took a while for my heart beat to
return to normal.

After 1ish, the sun burned, so we hid in the bure reading
and doing schoolwork.Later, after
our afternoon swim, we decided to walk around the Island. We stopped often to pick up shells,
rocks and other treasures. Another parrot joined us.

The seaweed is purple and green. Once on shore, the sun bleaches it creamy white.
We
found crabs and hermit crabs, and watched the Sun, sink into the sea. It took about 36 minutes to wander
around the Island.
