The walk to
Blue Lagoon is easy and flat: over the mangrove boardwalk, along the airstrip
and down the dunes to the beach.
On a
calm day it would be magic, but with winds up to 30 knots there were white caps
all over, even though the water in the eastern lagoon is still as clear as
Watson’s Bay in the west.
It looks
like we will be here for another week or two as the winds are still gusting
over 30 knots SE and forecast to continue. (One yacht recorded 34 knots!) It could
be worse! Lizard Island is so
beautiful and Peter has seen the best corals here while snorkelling among the giant
clams, schools of coral trout, golden trevally and friendly turtles.
It’s still too windy for the kayaks, but the
water is so clear that from the dinghy we can see all the fish and corals. A couple of remoras and reef sharks have
taken up residence under our boat and any crumb that lands in the water brings
them zooming out to investigate.
