Chapter 70 - Dive, Dive, Dive

Awakening this morning Gimli declared himself keen for a shower and so led the team ashore to Hook Island to locate a waterfall. After a calf-burning trek and climb up a cliff he duly located one and clambered in for an invigorating ablution.



Once clean they returned to the ship and set sail around the island to a nice spot for lunch called appropriately Luncheon Bay.

After a hearty repast he went for his first ever dive. Now many of you will know that fat is particularl buoyant and it was only after an extensive search of their vessel that sufficent weight was located to pull him down.

A quick 15 minute dive followed to 6 metres and he has declared himself a big fan.




Now that the ballast has been returned to the keel we stand ready to weigh anchor and continue south.
