Today we got up at 7:30 after having had a great sleep. There is a constant breeze flowing through the boat and we can hear the breakers crashing on the reefs just over the dunes about 200 metres away but we are very protected here at he dock. We went up to the lovely pool area surrounded by palms to do an hour of yoga- believe me it is needed! We follow this up with a lovely walk along the beach where of course we find some great shells. After lunch we decide to go out in the dingy to Tahiti Beach just around the corner. This is a lovely ,calm area where we see people snorkelling and searching for clams I think. There are some absolutely stunning homes in this area overlooking this bay and the ocean. Chas gets out of the dingy in about 2 feet of water and the next thing we know a big manta ray swims by him . Of course I fumble with my camera which I have put in a zip lock bag but do manage to get a shot of it . We pick up about 4 or 5 conch shells with the little creatures still in them. Up until now we´ve only experienced them fried or in fritters !Apparently only native Bahamians can harvest them. We see lots of clams and a few lovely starfish as well. We decide that this yoga, beachwalk, dingy trip and reading by the pool will make up a lovely routine for the next few weeks.
