Taylor reef

Taylor Reef was an ideal anchorage just 250m from a 140m long sand cay that remains exposed at high tide. Perhaps it would wash over in a big storm, but that didn’t bother the thousand marine birds who appeared to be enjoying something solid to rest on. A few of the masked Boobies had laid eggs and a lone turtle 🐢 may well have been the first to start a new nesting ground. The coral around the reefs fringes was a little sparse but with plenty of fish life. Some delightful coral in just a few meters depth near the cay made for easy snorkeling and this fun under/ over photo opportunity :)
