The beach lovers start to arrive about 10am with a ferry arriving around the other side of the island about every hour, thankfully it is about a 20minute walk so not many make it round to our beach but at midday a huge ferry arrives in our anchorage, yesterday there were probably around 20-30 people on board but today closer to 50-60. But thankfully these depart by 4pm & peace is restored.
There is not much room in the anchorage so we have moved everyday to try to get a good spot out of the way of the ferry & with swinging room. We saw 2 50ft catamarans get into great difficulty yesterday as they were blown onto some rocks which then meant one had to dump their anchor & retrieve by diving from their dingy, we also witnessed a lovely Brit flagged boat plough into a rock under the surface so we are trying to be cautious with any manoeuvres.
We've had some time to explore the island but not much to see apart from the Seagulls, Lizards & more beaches & the spectacular views of both Corsica & Sardinia. After a week of not being on land it has been nice to get off the boat. The snorkelling has been fantastic, shame it is still a bit chilly but at least we have wetsuits. There is a huge variety of fish definitely the most we have seen in the Med which is probably due to the fact it is a nature reserve & the majority of fishing is prohibited - 80,000 hectares of sea around Bonifacio are protected.
Again we feel very lucky.
We only have Internet access on our phone at the moment so photos are limited to ones we have taken on the phone but when we are on wifi we will share some more.
