Sandy Island

Ocean Spirits organized a trip for all the volunteers (5 of us + 8 Ocean Spirits + the Captain) to Sandy Island today which is about a 10-minute boat ride from Levera beach. It was stunning. We went snorkeling (my first time, and I’m hooked!), explored the island, drank fresh coconut water, and basically had an idyllic day. Two of the Ocean Spirits team are excellent free divers and one is a fisherman with expertise in spearing fish – so he caught the fish for lunch. We had a delicious stew for lunch (I had the veggie version with dumplings in it). 

We all piled into the small boat tired and happy for the return ride home (this is not as simple as it sounds in a choppy sea with no jetty, but getting wet is half the fun!). Ahh – this is the life!
