It&#8217;s a very rewarding final day of sailing in the Seychelles.<br><br>As we tie up to a mooring ball, the park rangers come to collect our $15US for the night and we prepare to snorkel the surrounding reef of Ille Moyenne. It&#8217;s a great snorkel with plenty of colorful and large ...

... a small bonito caught again by Lisa. As we round the northern point of Mahe&#8217;, the wind begins to build to 30k (katabolic effect off the high mounts) coming almost due south right on our nose. We roll-up the job and reef the main as we motor sail directly into the wind to anchor in the designated area off Beau Vallon Beach.<br><br>It&#8217 ...

Petite Cour -&gt; Ille Coco -&gt; Anse Lazio<br><br>The sun is shining, but, there's no wind. Perfect conditions for a snorkel at Ille Coco, so we rev-up the motor for our 10M trip to Ille Coco. <br><br>Once we get the anchor in, we immediately head off swimming to snorkel the west and south side of the island. It&#8217;s like being in an aquarium with hundreds of ...

IT WAS DELICIOUS!! &#8230; and we still laugh about that day in the Seychelles and feel sorry that Lisa was unable to enjoy a fantastic "pesce a vapore".<br><br>Menu<br>Dinner: one mega-red snapper cooked to perfection<br><br>Mapped Photo Gallery<br>BareboatingtheWorld.com

... 8220;peace&#8221; logoed dingy. In addition, to 6 shoemaker fish like those from Anse Volbert he had over 1 Kg of octopus from his personal stash and the kicker was a enormous red snapper that had been caught that morning. Needless to say, it was worth the additional euros we had to fork over for the more expensive fare and service charge. Miles fit the laid back ...

... bang for the bug. With that in mind, we started provisioning discussions with miles who we latter dubbed "my friend" due to his negotiation technique. In addition to Lisa&#8217;s request for sweet mangos and other vegetables, we requested octopus and whatever fish he was able to find and gave him our ice bag for a refill. He negotiated an up-front euro &#8220 ...

... ocean T said: 'it is not a he, because 'he' is wearing a bikini top'. That nicely muscles male body a she? No way! I worked with female body builders. They are muscled. But they have the shape of a woman. This was a man. Hubby kept on insisting and ... indeed: a bikini top! But men's parts. He took of his top, put on his t-shirt and left. T does not understand this stuff. I thought he had been very brave. Maybe it was his first cross dressing. So, it ...

... Många växter och djur är endemiska, dvs. dom finns bara på Seychellerna. Tex. den gröna geckon och den svarta papegojan. Många är utrotningshotade. Vi såg flygfisk och delfiner när vi var ute och fiskade. Vi åkte ut tidigt på morgonen och havet låg nästan blankt. Trots det så blev jag lite sjösjuk. Fast det gick över när jag sovit en stund. En dag åkte vi ut på en snorkelutflykt. Vi snorklade utanför Coco Island och Felicite och gick i land på Sister Island där ...

... On the way there were a couple of small islands and rocks which looked pretty good, but the shoreline of Praslin looked OK, but nothing special. Soon after 7am we had landed at Praslin airport. We are continuing on to the island of La Digue, but as it doesn't have an airport, we have to catch a schooner. As it runs regularly throughout the day, we're in no hurry. Try to make some phonecalls from the airport, but both phones are ...
