Tomb Bay to Deep Bay with an anchorage in between.

We moved off the rickety jetty at Tomb Bay to avoid having to eat there two nights in a row. This area is so beautiful, every bay or inlet so inviting, that after anchoring overnight at waypoint 3 less than half a mile away, we motored for just over one mile to our next anchorage in Deep Bay.

Here, the Turks have conveniently laid swing mooring buoys to attach our bridle to and then run a long line ashore where we find yet another convenience of a pole cleat to which to tie the long line.

This bay had a number of interesting looking ravines to explore by dingy and of course the water was sparkling clear and the perfect temperature for swimming, all so very monotonous really....

We dingied up to these revines, anchored the dingy off a little to avoid puncturing it on the very sharp volcanic rocks at the waters edge, and then we climbed.

The climbing was interesting, the kids now adept at identifying the different species there by their droppings. These included wild goats, donkeys, lizards, squirrels and I can't recall what else.

The flora being a mix of olive trees, acorn trees, vanilla bean trees and who knows what else.

Whilst the climbing was interesting, the rewards were breathtaking. This is a really beautiful part of the world.... not sure if I've said that already....

Disappointing however was the amount of garbage in these ravines, left by 'people' who just don't seem to get it?? Such a pristine environment where the authorities have gone to ridiculous lengths to ensure that this zone remains pristine. Who would come all this way to enjoy such a place and then do that? It beggars belief and I guess you can tell, it really pisses me off!
