It is a short distance from Brampton Island to Cid Harbour but there are many islands in between and we decided to stop at Goldsmith and Thomas for a
day each.
Everywhere you look is a beautiful scenery. We found Goldsmith full of marine life with fish jumping all over the place and many turtles coming to the surface to breath all around the anchorage. We anchored at the south tip of the island and it was just us for the night . Late afternoon we went ashore for a walk, the tide was quickly filling the beach but as it is very flat, it was a long walk from the dinghy up to dry sand in the beach.

| Invasion at Thomas |
The weather was settled and next day we sailed to Thomas. This island is especially attractive to Oscar as
spearfishing is allowed and there are lots of good spots promising good fishing. We
were having a quiet time at anchor with just a couple of other boats when a
caravan of motor yachts invaded the place with loud music and shouts of
excitement, and we thought, here we go, party tonight. But the peace of the
place must have overcome them as very soon all was quiet, the music gone
and nothing else was heard after that.
On our way again the next day we had a look at Lindeman Island but the anchorage seemed exposed to the SSE winds blowing at the time and we decided to come to Cid Harbour instead. This is a much protected anchorage and very popular
but it is wide with plenty of space for all.
We are now planning our next exploration spots while we wait
for a band of small squalls to disappear as it doesn't feel inviting to go
anywhere at the moment.
