These involved getting lost in the bush - one of us found the waterfall and had a very pleasant swim and the other got lost. It also involved having a life threatening situation getting from the tender into the boat in a very rough anchorage which then escalated to the tender rope getting caught in the handle which precariously had to be cut with a knife….. which also pierced the tender which can no longer be considered inflatable. That’s the short version 😌 Oh and the photos of the beach do not represent the conditions and swell out in the bay

Very dangerous transferring from tender to boat and vice versa resulting in a hole in the tender 😬 quite an ordeal on the boat and on land. One of us got to see the waterfall which was amazing. The sea has calmed beautifully but so has the wind. We are just enjoying the peace and quiet for now at 4knots

Heading into Zoe bay for a look 👀

May be a bit rolly to leave the boat. Hopefully get to see the waterfalls.
