Cooling off in a tidal pool π
Added 2023-09-08 18:22:15 +0000 UTCIt's been a super busy week and most of it was spent with my head in the engine room. π₯΅
So relaxing in this small, shallow tidal pool on a deserted island before sunset was just the perfect way to cool off! π€
I gotta say though, getting to this spot wasn't all too easy since the Atlantic swells reach around the small isle and there was no beach to land the dinghy. π
Instead, we timed our approach and jumped onto the rocks, then lifted and carefully carried the dinghy to a corner where the rugged shoreline and harsh swells wouldn't destroy it....
Between Large Island, where this picture was taken and Frigate Island, where CUBA was anchored lies a channel almost half a mile wide where the current can accelerate to more than 2 knots.
Therefore, swimming back to CUBA would not have been an option π and phone reception does not reach the island either π±π΅....
Luckily, we got back from this little adventure before dark and I am thrilled to share this memento with you. π₯°
Much love,

So glad you like it Phil!! π€π₯° Just behind the rocks, the waves were bashing but the pool was like a bathtub. Perfect to cool off. π
