Two notes on the development occuring on Royal Island.
1. I came in at night and looked like they marked the channel with lights going into the harbour - do not know if you are allowed in though.
2. More importantly, there is beach to the left of the harbour and a new
dock and breakers being built about 100 yards off the beach on the right side of the beach. It is ovioulsy not on my
charts, which could have proven interesting if I was not watching when coming in to
anchor.
there appears to ba a club house and 5 small hut type houses all with lights so finding the area was easy the area at night.
Just outside Egg Island was very interesting shallow dive. the entire area is a close
network of
coral, hard to find a sand patch for
anchor. it should have been lobster central in with all the intertwining
coral but not one...
