Day 27 - WED - 10/10/12 - Nungwi, Zanzibar
Time to get out on the water today with a cruise along the coast line to a spot to do some snorkelling. The water was a very light aqua blue with sparkling white sand. We jumped off the boat and snorkelled at a small reef. There were a few different species of fish and manly brightly coloured starfish. From there we headed to a picnic lunch on the beach close by/ Lunch was BBQ'ed tuna, rice and a tomato based sauce - more fresh seafood that was beautifully cooked.
We sailed back to the Inn which was great to get along at a slower speed. We were in a fairly traditional coastal boat. The mast was constructed from large tree branches that were tied together with rope. The sail was all old material patched together and the pivot point of the mast created a boom which was also levered by a rope. Ingenious really, the simplicity of this boat.
Back at camp we headed to do some work on the internet and catch up with the outside world.
