A secret World


More snorkling. An amazing, secret world hiding under this (sometimes)flat, blue lid. Sand valleys and steep, hills covered in plants in fabulous forms. There are pipes, bright yellow, empty "flower pots" or jugs, thick, bare branches, rust-red, and huge lacy fans, light green on one side, lilac on the other. All swaying in the current. This is the world the silly, clown-painted aquarium fish live their little fishy lives.

Sad to leave our lovely aquarium behind as we sail away from Soufriere, the "Sulpher" village. With its enormous sentinals, the Pitons, Gros and (not very) Petit.
It's a hot, sunny motor-sail up the coast to Rodney Bay. Where we hope to buy a new anchor. Being tied to a pontoon is different. This is the first time since La Gomera in the Canaries! And showers, super! Even a little swimmming pool. Just what we need after being baked all day in the sun and bright and breezy sea.
