Very rolly and misty in Minerva today but glad to Very rolly and misty in Minerva today but glad to be past the 50+ knots of wind from two nights ago! Finally got off the boat last night to meet some new friends and hoping to further explore today when the rain stops! Plus boat projects of course! #sailinglife
Glad to be safely inside the reef as the low moves Glad to be safely inside the reef as the low moves through. It’s blowing around 25 knots and you can see the waves breaking over the edge of the reef. The last pic is an overhead view of the reef courtesy of Rmarine. What an amazing natural wonder Minerva is! 💙💙💙
