After our epic trip to the tip of the Dampier Peninsula, it was time to hit the water. Although we saw the ocean close up in Darwin, there were no water activities to be had. So finally we are reunited with the salt water. The Mango is launched in the Indian Ocean, just next to our camp. The sea is glassy smooth, the tide was very low and still running out.

How beautiful is that?
As you can tell, it was almost 5pm by now. The sun sets about 5.30pm, and it’s a perfect time of day. They had a fun paddle up and down the shore near camp. They took the mask and goggles and jumped in for some snorkelling. They saw a huge Loggerhead Turtle (that’s what they think it was), coral and heaps of fish.

They landed on dusk, and the tide was getting really low now. Below is a photo of a clam we found near shore. It squirted Fergus right in the face when he put his finger in one of the valves!
