It appears to be a painting in motion. In the distance we see the white caps of waves breaking on the outer reef. In the lagoon we see several large fish and turtles and a few manta rays. Overhead the majestic birds are flying while some are landing on the beach and in the trees. The M.V. Lady Musgrave boat from Bundaberg comes to the island today, but we see only four people who happen to walk around to the south side of the island.
Most people stay on or near the boat out in the lagoon.
When we return to our campsite, we find a couple, Leslie and Tony, who had come out on the M.V. Lady Musgrave boat, and they are setting up camp around the corner and out of sight of our tent. They are from Brisbane, having immigrated to Australia from southern England. In the evening we shower and prepare another candlelight dinner of chicken stew, bread, butter, and wine. The sky is cloudless, so we leave the rain fly off of our Walrus Tri-Star tent and stare at the beautiful stars through the mesh top as we enjoy some Grand Marnier. In the early morning we hear a turtle moving about six feet away from our tent, so we get up to take pictures.
