About two hours straight out from Bagamoyo is a sand bank that only emerges during low tide. We set out in a big dhow and sailed out to swim and snorkel around the sand bank. It was great to be out on the water again, and even better to plunge into the warm water of the Indian Ocean. The snorkelling was nice, and when we sailed back everybody was surprised to see how late it was.
We had lunch and a drink, and read our books for a while. Then we got to bed for a few hours of sleep. At three in the morning, we were supposed to take the same dhow that we used for snorkelling to sail over the strait to Zanzibar.
