The morning dawned bright and sunny and after a lazy breakfast we decided it was time to slow down from careering around the island and actually stop and smell the roses .  About mid morning, we headed off across to Middle Bunsby island and after puttering around and seeing SV Syntropy, we headed onto a beach and then went for a walk up a stream.  It was wonderfully secluded in the interier of the island and as we headed up the stream, we came upon a lovely lagoon.  It had brackish water so not fully fresh but still was a beuatiful sight. 

After spending a bit of time on the meadows by the side of the lake we headed back to the dinghy to find it floating free as we had not accounted for the tide coming in! Thankfully the wind was onshore so it had not blown away but this tuaght us a very sobering lesson and we promised to take our long painter with us in future and tie off well above the high tide mark every time!. We then went over to see Kevin and Lee-Anne on Syntropy. 

We had a great chat with them but were a bit concerned when they mentioned that they had seen a bear exactly where we had been only a couple of hours before us!  We agreed that we should keep our eyes peeled after that. Before heading back to the boat we went over to another beach which showed evidence of being a major shell midden; a sure indicator that the area had been the site of a first nations village.  As we wondered around we realised what an amazing life this must have been with abundant shellfish and berries obvious, not to mention the assumed great fishing around here.  As it was now getting late for lunch we headed back to the boat, had a bite and then went for a siesta before heading over to Club Paradise for drinks.  We didn't leave them until gone seven so it was a late meal and another early night as we were still catching up from our long trips.
