Yesterday was overcast but dry and we made our way to St Andrew’s Beach on the southern end of the island. Ghost crabs were everywhere and provided plenty of entertainment. They are almost invisible on the sand and it’s their eyes on stalks and white claws that give them away. They appear to spend the day scampering around the beach and jumping into holes at the first sign of danger. Their holes are surprisingly deep and we pondered about the labyrinth that was beneath our feet.
Today we were planning on leaving the hotel and go to the northern end of the island and camp for a few days. We woke up to high winds and rain so decided to stay put another day. The thought of trying to get the rain fly and ground sheet installed in high winds and rain did not appeal. We have been pushing this camping stint further and further forward hoping for better weather. So this morning we bundled up and took a beach walk. The wind and sand provided free abrasion and the ocean was warm (bathtub warm). We had the beach to ourselves and the valiant birds looking for breakfast.
