So what do we do every day? I thought I'd track a day in photos to show you what happens during a 'usual' bay cruising day. Of course, no two days are alike but it gives a general idea.
Woke up ~ 6am hearing Arthur asking Giles for tablet time. Wondered, briefly, about getting up to take a sunrise shot for my friend Sonia but thought better of it and went back to sleep. Sorry Son!
Woke again ~ 7am and read a little. Currently reading through a Peter James crime series (Roy Grace) and loving it!
Got up after 8 and prepared breakfast. Coffee (for me), random hot drinks (for everyone else), croissants and pane au chocolate (on special yesterday at the supermarket).

| Breakfast |
After breakfast I went for a row to shore and a walk along the beach. All by myself! It was delightful. Solved all the worlds problem or at least began solving my own.
Back on board to find the crew fishing.

And colouring.
Decided to use up old bananas by making a banana loaf.
Finished measuring the ingredients (stowed them in the oven so they wouldn't spill) before we set sail for the opposite side of the bay (better for the forecast).

On the way we saw some whales. They were amazing! Definitely the best and closest we have seen to date. We must have spent at least an hour watching the family frolicking, smacking their flippers and tails in the water and leaping out of the water. See Giles' post for more details and much better photos!

We picked up a mooring, made lunch and rowed ashore to explore.
The kids went swimming and I found amazing shells.

Giles went exploring and found a camp group and another gorgeous beach which we went to check out.

Back to Meander to move to a deeper spot more suited for overnight.

| More colouring |
Finished the loaf (now morphed into cake with the addition of pecans and chocolate chips), had happy hour and dinner.
Kids are now in bed so it's time for the relaxing to really begin, after finishing the blog posts...
