We cruised slowly, enjoying the sight of the Sir James Smith Group of Islands. Tinsmith, Ingot, Bullion and our anchorage at Goldsmith Island, in Minnie Hall Bay. We had to find a sandy spot between reefs in a low tide of 2.4m. The recommended anchorage at Roylen Bay was very crowded as the weather was expected to turn nasty. Once we felt sure that Manatee was secure we jumped in the dinghy to explore this uninhabited island. We found lots of camp fires but no sign of campers.
Our log reads " heaps of turtles and fish jumping. Overnight it was marine Pitt Street with things that go bump in the night."
