Celebrate - Sharks!!!! Port Refuge on Direction Island at Cocos (Keeling)



At about 7.00AM local time we have arrived safely in Cocos Keeling. The wind died as we made our approach and in clear daylight we could pick up the leading navigation marks. We followed the waypoints of a previous World ARC participant which got us in to anchorage without a problem although at one point there was no more than a foot under the keel!

We dropped anchor at the stunning Port Refuge anchorage complete with a welcoming committee of 3 black tip sharks swimming around just off the boat. They seemed to like the flying fish we collected overnight (hope they don't like us too much).

here is beautiful turquoise water, palm trees and a sandy beach add to the scene! We have to wait on board till this afternoon for Australian Customs to clear us, so time for a welcoming beer and then we are off to discover the sights above and below the water.
