We stayed at Palm Island mooring amidst the islands where it was protected from the open winds.
It was very beautiful there. Shore was rich with trees and greenery and white cockatoos called from the trees.
The settlement was ahead.
Most of Palm Island is simply open land and full of bush and birds... a real Sanctuary.
The next day we went by Dinghy to Famtome Island which was the Leprosy Hospital base.
The shore was laden with coral and smooth colored stones.
As we walked into the Island there were piles of conch shells that had been eaten by a campfire.
The island is rich with trees, flowers and birds.
It is a very beautiful island currently uninhabited.
