Little Bay, Anguilla

Sunday, December 16  – Little Bay, Anguilla

We spent the day in the Little Bay marine park which is a small bay off the main island of Anguilla. The bay is surrounded by huge cliffs. Probably the most beautiful bay we've been to on the trip so far, the water was so many different shades of turquoise. We snorkeled around the bay for the majority of the day, and the visibility was perfect. We saw a baby sea turtle who let us swim with him for a while.

After snorkeling and enjoying the bay, we jumped in the dingy and headed to shore to Da Vida for lunch in Crocus Bay. The beach restaurant and bar was packed with people (more people we've seen at one time on the entire island). They had a live band playing beach songs and the food was really great.

We walked around the town behind Little Bay.  This was the view from the top of the hill above Da Vida.

We made our way back to the boat and decided to anchor overnight in Crocus Bay. After anchoring, we noticed that we had part of the line from the dingy stuck in the prop. We spent a few hours that night, and the next day trying to get it out. Eventually, with both of us in the water sawing at the line, we were able to cut it out of the prop, so luckily no harm was done to the engine or sail drive!
