Just north of Terrel Bay is a well protected spit of sand that is a marine state park with mooring balls, named of all things, Sandy Island, go figger.
It has clear water and seemed like the perfect place to get out the hookah rig and clean the bottom of grassy growth & a few very small barnacles. Sally got to snorkel the reef and was excited enough to come get me to join her. There were lots of small fish, a several schools (?) of squid with a blue luminance blue stripe down its back.

When I cleaned the bottom thousands of small fish came up to eat what I was cleaning off.

One of our neighbor boats put up a whirligig and then another boat put up a larger one so we had dueling whirligigs but I only got a pic of my neighbor, the other boat departed, whirligig tucked between their legs.

On Saturday afternoon the local yacht club was out training the juniors in their opti's. We were below and would have missed it except for all the kids yelling, screaming and laughing. Nothing like a child's laughter of pure fun!
