As usual for this season we have some snotty weather headed our way so it’s time to find a hiding spot! We had been eyeing a deep pool in between Darby and Little Darby islands. The problem is that there is a shallow sand bar that keeps most boats out of it. We anchored just outside the entrance for a night with our fellow shallow-draft boat Sorn and scouted the depths with the dinghy! Looks like we’re good to go once high tide rolls around!

The route to pass in between the islands has a narrow deep cut lined with corals so we gathered the crew and did a really nice drift dive with the dinghy. We saw a nurse shark, tons of fish, and a little reef shark that was curious about us but confused by our presence in its home! I would love to do this dive again but the best part this time was the pair of Oakley sunglasses I found in about 10’ of water. Score!
