20/21 Oct - Overnighter on Ant Atoll

After our dive at the back wall and then a quick snorkel at the pass we headed over to the beach and set up camp. Nic and I decided to sleep in the back of the boat, which was great until it started to rain..... But the rain was short and the rest of the night was peaceful, kid-free bliss.
 
 Home Sweet Home. Definately a picture perfect location.
 
 Moving up to the front of the boat to get the anchor ready.
 
 After all that hard swimming it was time for a beer.
 
 Super Model Mummy before the cocktails kicked in.
 
 The crabs were safe this time, no kids to harass them.
 
 Cocktails out of coconuts, does it get any better.
 
 Definately a great way to watch the sun go down.
 
 Our boat driver Francisco rounded up some driftwood for a beach bonfire.
 
 Enjoying some 'quiet time'.
 
 The Australian Embassy boat anchored safely for the night.
 
 The clouds played the game and gave us a quite a pretty show at sunset.
 

 The campsite and bonfire in full flight.
 
 After reheating some spagetti bog for dinner it was time to relax for a while before climbing into the boat.
 
 Not a bad sight to start the day.
 
 Bacon and Egg muffins for breakfast. Yep we did it tough.
 
 Doing the dishes local style.
 
 'The Supervisor'
 
 After a nice coffee on the beach we went for a walk and snorkel.
 
 We are going to miss the opportunity to do things like this whenever we want.
 
 A nice big brain coral.
 
 Super calm conditions.
 
 I've snorkelled this place plenty of times and never noticed this one before. Very cool.
 
 Nat Geo sort of stuff.
 
 So many different things to see under the water.
 
Nic with her wahoo from the day before.
 
All good things must come to an end. So we left the beach about 1pm and headed back to the pass for a dive on the way out.
