Green Island

Wednesday 5^th January

We planned to motor the short distance over to the island of Aridup this morning, for some snorkeling.  We waited in Snug Harbor until 9:30 but as my vegetables still hadn’t arrived we decided to just go on.  The anchorage at Aridup was really rolly, and the sea choppy, I stayed on board while Bob and Danni took the dinghy over to the island.

The seabed was churned up from the rough water and the snorkeling wasn’t good, so we weighed anchor and set sail for Green Island (Kanlildup). 

We had a wonderful sail across; even I managed to enjoy it.  We had 15 – 20 knots of consistent wind and managed an averaged a speed of 9 knots, arriving at 4pm.

The anchorage at Green Island was perfect, calm with crystal clear water.  There were 12 other sail boats so it was a little crowded, but the islands all around us were absolutely picture perfect.
