Still at Ilot Casy

Hi everyone
We are still at our mooring off Ilot (Island) Casy in Baie du Prony. Casy was apparently named after a French admiral. We went for a walk ashore this morning and walked to the top of the island - which isn't all that high! Angel fish swimming around the boat this morning and very clear water. There is a resident dog on the island who seems to depend on being fed by anyone who happens along. He's very friendly and enjoys showing visitors around! We felt quite sorry for him because he must be very lonely - not to mention hungry from time to time. So tomorrow we're taking in some cooked rice for him from a beef stir fry we're cooking tonight.
It's been a lazy day today spent walking and sleeping and then trying to decide where to go next after consultation with the charts and the Cruising Guide. There is a certain amount of trepidation with going to some places as when looking at the charts it is quite common to see "Warning - inadequately surveyed"!! We aren't interested in that sort of risk as we have some distance still to travel from here and want to get there in one piece! We'll probably o further up the Baie du Prony tomorrow as it's a very extensive and deep bay with many possible anchorages - similar to Whangaroa in some ways.
That's it for now; the stir fry is nearly ready!
Cheers and lots of love
J & J (G)
