We stocked up a little at the supermarket on the way back for lunch, with a cyclone on the horizon it made sense to buy some food and water that didn't need to be cooked or heated. I was surprised that the shelves still had plenty of food and it wasn't busy.
After a rest and the rain showers had gone, we went out for a swim at Emily bay which is inside the reef. I have found out that the glass bottomed boats only go in here and the next bay which goes by the unfortunate name of Slaughter bay, didn't find out why it's called that.
Warren went swimming while I did go into the water, very rocky underneath but further around was a sandy bottom. Seemed strange to be swimming at 6pm. It didn't get dark until about 9pm, time distance from home was two hours.
We visited the salt mine as well. Fires were built and kept going with buckets of sea water along a bar boiling away the water, then of course the salt was left and used to salt the meat.
