Theluveligaa

Thursday
Yesterday we had a whole day on Meerufenfushi, returning to the Yasawa Princess for lunch.  The snorkelling was excellent,particularly outside the reef, and A & B made progress and saw more fish too within the lagoon. the evening was enlivened by a fishing trip on the Dhoni where I caught a nice sized red snapper.

 

Just now we're anchored off Theluveligaa, having spent the afternoon quietly motoring south from Alikoy sandbank.  There was good snorkelling there but a bit of a current outside of the reef made it quite testing. I made several runs against the current then drifting back to the channel and got some good photos. LB chilled on the beach with A & B. We were impressed by the arrival of the caretaker in his dhoni.  Once ashore he busied himself raking the island but obligingly stopped to pose for a photo.

Tonight all had a good time at the Captains Dinner. He said a few words, we had a good meal and then the dancing started. The crew were particularly keen dancers and it was odd having more men than women on the dance floor. B entertained us greatly with his pole dancing!
The final drama was provided by Tim, our avid fisherman. The others went to bed just before me and as I was following them noticed some excitement on the rear deck. Tim had hooked a very big fish. Three quarters of an hour later after a lot of struggling, the line broke! it was nearly 1.00 when I got to bed
Ps Am having problems with the Internet connection so will have to add the photos when I'm home
