08/19/2008: "A leap of faith"

From the Banks Islands Chaotic Harmony sailed south to Guau island where we were fascinated by the Women doing 'water music'. This group of a dozen Nivan ladies make an amazing pattern of musical sounds by clapping and swooshing thought the water with their hands and arms. They are currently in Spain at the world Expo showing their skills.
With more settled weather we sailed south to Santo and Oyster Island. At this anchorage is a four kilometer run up a river to a 'blue hole'. This is the end of the river - a white sand hole that water runs up into from an underground stream. The clarity of the water is amazing and the colour is stunning. To leap from the trees into the deep blue was an exciting way to experience a unique part of Santo.
Estelle did not need to be pushed and leapt of her own accord.
