We awoke to sunshine. Wanuskewin wanted to go snorkeling on a rock nearby. So Jim and Dave piled in the dingy while Melissa and Margaret elected to hang out reading their books. The boys reported later that the snorkeling today wasn't quite as good as yesterday, but they did get to see a "fish cleaning station". This is where a bunch of little fish gather and clean the algae off the larger fish. Sort of looks like a car wash with lots of fish running around cleaning up any tasty bits they find. Dave tried to float into the fish cleaning station and let them work on him, but at the last minute he chickened out.
We went ashore for lunch and the hotel on the beach here served us. Two days ago they told us that "a German company rented the place out for two months" and hence the restaurant was closed. Today we were able to get service at the beach bar. The owner happened by to apologize for the long wait for our food (we hadn't even noticed). He was Italian and owned a number of hotels. We asked him about the two month long rental. Turned out that they are filming a Survivor season nearby and the Survivor film and support crew are staying here. The German company thing must be a cover story.
While we were having our late lunch, the wind kicked up to 25 knots and the waves got sort of obnoxious. So we decided it was time to move around to the other side of the island. We got back to the boats shortly before sunset and managed to cruise around the island and pick up a mooring ball in front of the hotel we visited when we first arrived here almost four months ago. The sunset was gorgeous. Along the way Wanuskewin had two whales off their starboard side. But no one aboard except for Dave caught sight of them.
