🇬🇧 We anchored in a small bay in Peter Island yesterday with Rupert Murdoch’s boat Vertigo in the middle of the bay, making our boat look pretty small! I paddled over to see if I could engage someone in conversation but there was noone to be seen… The water in the anchorage was a surreal …

🇬🇧 Green Island…we spent more time there than we had originally intended as the wind picked up massively and we weren’t too keen on exiting through the reef with those big waves and gusts. We met a bunch of nice kids boats and our children were really happy to sit around their first bonfire in …
