A very quiet day spent walking along the beach and swimming. With full moon tomorrow there are huge movements in tides – at high tide the water is right up to the grass on the shore, whilst the low tide recedes about 300m. The beach is very easy to walk along at low tide and it was possible to walk around the point to the next small fishing village.
It was very interesting watching the locals arrive back from their day of fishing in their tiny dugout boats with outriggers, and some small sailing dhows. The sea has been absolutely flat all day with very little by way of waves. I don’t know how these small boats manage if the sea gets rough. They all seemed to have a productive day and had some reasonable size fish on board. The manager of the lodge bought a couple of fish for dinner, which was excellent.
Sounds wonderful.... next time borrow the paddleski - I'm sure there's still a little space left on the roof!! Dropped the family off bright and early this morning! I'm sure you'll be so happy to have them back! xoxo
