Due to the “noseeums” we were happy to leave the anchorage at Nargana (early on 24thJanuray) and headed off with Innforapenny past the beautiful Green Island to the West Coco Bandero Cays. We anchored behind a small island called Orduptarboat in lovely clear water. This is a truly beautiful anchorage. We enjoyed snorkelling here and the next day we came within a few meters of a tawny shark as we snorkelled around a reef. This area is just as people want to imagine a cruising paradise, small sandy islands with coconut trees and a lovely clear blue sea. Mmmmmm.
On Tuesday 26th the weather forecast was for winds and seas to build over the next few days. 12ft (3 -4m) seas were forecast by Thursday/Friday. We decided to motor the short distance southwards to Green Island. We anchored in the lagoon on the south west side as this would be less exposed to the swell than the Coco Bandero Cays. There were already several boats in the pretty anchorage. We let out plenty of (anchor) chain ready for the strong winds and settled in. Later Innforapenny came into the anchorage also.
