Once again fighting the tide we left Tsehum Harbour to sail to Portland Island. After all the kids, Teresita, Mario, and Tania were finally aboard, along with all of their equipment and food, we said our goodbyes to Tom and left the boat basin.

An hour later we were anchored at Princess Bay on Portland Island. This is one of my favorite Islands so far. This early in the season, there were only 3 other boats in the bay. Teresita and Mario put on a wonderful lunch and served it on a platter in the cock pit. Everyone ate until we could eat no more.

The kids busied themselves fishing, as the adults digested our lunch.

After lunch we loaded the kids into the dinghy and spent a couple of hours at shell beach. It's just a short dinghy ride from Princess Bay. The kids loved it and set about collecting, shells, starfish and pieces of wood. After our beach trip we returned to the mother ship and were soon on our way back to Tsehum Harbour to drop off the crew.
