After a final fantastic breakfast and lunch (rare beef fillet) on Wilson, and more brilliant snorkeling, we once again boarded the Gatcombe at 3pm for the 40 minute boat ride back to Heron.

That afternoon we went for a walk around the island - it was much larger than I had expected, and the interior had surprisingly lush vegetation (and loads of birds...). We had dinner together as a group that night (although, to be honest, I could have done without that at that stage - we'd spent three whole days with these people, and lovely as most of them were, I would have preferred a quiet time).
