As we arrived late afternoon into Admiralty Bay we decided to move round to Friendship Bay to go snorkelling with Hollie for her BIG 10th Birthday on 14 December. On the way round we stopped at Petit Nevis and had about the best snorkelling so far and then headed into Friendship for a very rolly night caused by some big weather systems up north - well look at all the rubbish you guys have had in Europe. So it was wind in one direction and big swells in another - but it is winter in the Caribbean and the sun is down on the Tropic of Capricorn, plus we are on spring tides - almost 0.5 metres.

First of all I would like to thank everybody who got me a birthday present. I think that it was the best birthday I have ever had. In the morning I opened all my presents then we all went snorkelling .We then went for a little walk around the deserted island. In the afternoon we sailed round to Friendship Bay and had lunch and birthday cake. We went for another swim , then in the evening we had cocktails and tea.
