The anchorage at Île Fourchue is very calm at the moment, the winds are light outside of the anchorage and even lower inside, with just enough breeze blowing through to give ventilation aboard. The waves are also down so this remains a perfect place to stay another day and night, which is what both myself and de Pinnas aboard Katz (the short form is easier to write) did. I ran the generator in the morning and filled up the 3 tanks for another dive and then decided to re-synchronize the battery monitor and charge the batteries to close to 100%, but that took almost 5 hours which pained me to do, since the last hours of running the generator were at a very low load and not good for the engine.
After a light lunch the 3 of us did a another dive at the same site, the visibility was still excellent although a touch less than the day before, perhaps caused by runoff from the rain showers that had passed through during the night. We did see a spotted moray and a very small sleeping nurse shark on this dive, which pretty much completed the spectrum of fauna seen – we got a bit of everything at this site. After cleaning up the gear we split ways and I edited the pictures until overcome by a wave of tiredness so I napped on deck a bit and later on moved across to Katz for a some dinner on the barbie. It was 21:00 when we finished and they all went to sleep and I returned aboard Zanshin to watch the stars for a while. They had an iPhone with the star application and it was pretty impressive, I might get a phone or iPad just so that I can do that (and perhaps play a round or two of “Angry Birds”
