Swimming with the Turtles, Fish AND Sharks

We certainly are in paradise. Once the tide drops and the water stops coming over the reef, the cay at Lady Musgrave turns into an absolute millpond (at least while we were there).

We used the dinghy to go over to the reef where we found a pool with great coral, all the fish out of Finding Nemo, turtles and a reef shark. Sonia was the first to encounter the shark and she immediately found a piece of dead coral to stand on whilst she called for me. When I eventually surfaced from my snorkelling across the other side of the lagoon she ordered me back into the dinghy with the words "shark, there is a shark".

We spent a magic time watching the turtles swimming around and sunbaking. You hardly need to snorkel as the water is so clear you can see the bottom.

Sonia was even brave enough to go up the mast in the bosun's chair to take some panoramic photos of the lagoon and reef.
