Thursday at dawn we walked through a palm forest from our side of the lagoon to the ocean side. Masses of Fairyterns flying overhead, the Long-tailed Cuckoo real close, which I have been searching for since 2000, 3 shorebirds flying, probably Wandering Tattlers, the Reed Warbler heard but not seen, white & dark morph Pacific Reef Herons and a few sea creatures. Everywhere, big hermit crabs eating coconuts. Barry brought some hermit crabs home and put them in a bucket to be used for fishing bait later. I threw my apple core in the bucket and was amazed to find that Sunrise now is equipped with a garbage disposal!
We snorkeled, re-anchored (only a 2 hour process this time) and went for a sunset cruise in the Rubber Ducky (our new Kiwi dinghy). All the re-anchoring we do is so that Sunrise won't swing on her anchor into a coral head when the wind shifts. We get good weather forecasts and know how much wind is expected and from which direction.
