SDA149 Sweet Reef in the Raw
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we take a 4 mile ride in our dinghy, Imp, to Foul Cay in the Moriah Harbour Cay National Park to experience one of the most beautiful reefs we've seen yet. With Turtles, Parrotfish, Sargeant Major fish, Triggerfish, Barracuda and so much more. The best way to dive is unencumbered by a bikini.
Afterward a quick visit to Chat n Chill ends up with meeting new friends who give us the parts to repair our solar power! Cruisers are AWESOME!

at least we hope that's the correct video!
Either way it's a great tour of our favourite make and model of used cat before we bought ours.
