L'Union Estate La Digue Island

... The coral heads are some of the best I&#8217;ve seen on the trip, making for a fine snorkel.<br><br>Once back on the boat, we half-heartedly attempt to set a stern anchor so that we&#8217;d have our bow set into the waves which caused a substantial amount of roll our first night. Feeling we were setting it too close ...

... some beer, lunch, and a short rest before tackling the northern side. In the water again, but, it&#8217;s starting to get grey and there&#8217;s a much stronger current. So, one by one we abandon are afternoon snorkel content with what we experience in the morning.<br><br>We&#8217;re off to our last anchorage in the northern island group and jump off point for ...

... high cliffs about 100m to our south.<br><br>The high winds never materialized, nor the rain, but, the sea was sending 1-2m waves into our beam from around the northern point of the bay. Thinking they would eventually subside and expecting a severe hit of wind, we stayed. In hindsight, it probably would have been wiser to go anchor further into the bay, clear of the ...

... attitude perfectly, was very entertaining, and delivered the goods. <br><br>We expected the price increases with his various deliveries, but, still felt the cost was reasonable for cost of provisioning in the Seychelles and we&#8217;re very glad we took Neal&#8217;s advice and recommend you do the same.<br><br>After Miles&#8217;s delivery we decided to shove-off and get ...

... 8217; so he had the funds to buy our produce. Neal said we can trust Robert, so we decided to also trust Miles.<br><br>We took a short dingy ride to the shore for a brief walk around the port and a dingy trip around Ille St. Anne, a man-made island in the middle of the bay. Back to the boat to await Miles and prepare for our evening ritual. He returned a bit ...

... and a swim, though the current has some bite in it. After spending the afternoon in this idyllic setting, we sail back to Anse Lazio this time anchoring in front of the rock formation we scouted on our earlier walk ready for another fantastic sunset.<br><br>Menu<br>Lunch: tuna Cajun cerviche with cucumber garnish<br>Dinner: Tandoori Lamb.

... the local restaurant bar, but, disappointed with the quality of food available in the shops.<br><br>With shopping done, we head off to Anse Lazio after paying our $15US fee for another day in the marine park. As we sailed northwest with light breezes taking care to avoid the shallows off of the south coast of Ille. Curieuse Lisa again caught a smaller bonito as we rounded the peninsula just outside the marine park area. With the fish in we ...

... cooking, eating , talking and smoking lots of weed and hash. It was wonderful. It really reminded me of home. Tom wasnt so comfortable as he doesnt dance, smoke or chat with women much, but I fit right in. WE even scored lots of fresh lemongrass, cinnamon leaves, allspice leaves, guava and seeds for making necklaces. The generosity of the Seychois is legendary. I met a smart, concious rasta man, Evans, who lived in England for 8 ...

... Andra lyste med lampan på mobiltelefonen. Alla sätt är bra. Vi hittade en trevlig liten restaurang där på vägen, Chez Marstons. När vi kom dit mötte en liten flicka oss, hon kanske var 5 år... Från ett bord manövrerade hon ner två menyer som var minst hälften så stora som henne. Sen visade hon oss till ett bord och med stor möda vecklade hon upp menyerna och gav dom till oss. Sen fortsatte hon att springa omkring bland borden och leka och dansa eller så kom hon ...

... is actually only a cutter-rigged motor sailer, but, with the sail set, and the engine running, we make pretty good time out of the harbour and into the straights, with a moderate heel in about 10 knots of wind. The inner harbour area was similar to Victoria, in having milky green water, but in the strait, the water was a deep Tahitian blue.
