Bay
Visits
- 2025-03-21: We signed up for a snorkeling tour of a couple of shipwrecks. For this, we were on a small catamaran which we motored over to a nearby bay. The shipwrecks were good, but we could have probably swam out to them from shore. The bay was really busy with boats and swimmers, but no one lost their head on this day. After a few rounds of snorkeling, I was very surprised to find that we were actually going to sail back into the port. This is very unusual for these tourist boats for which the sail is just decoration.
