As we transited around the western side of Hook Island we came upon Caves Cove which is just before Stonehaven. The skipper decided that all the moorings at Stonehaven were likely to be occupied and as there was one free at Caves, why not take it for the night? I can now answer that question! Because hanging off a bloody great mooring buoy in a wind on tide situation does not lend itself to a very settled night! Ben and I were up most of the night trying to figure out how to tame the beast that sounded as though it was going to batter the hull to pieces. Needless to say, the two princesses slept right through the whole thing (I mean there kids not our respective partners - they had a rough night as well).
Next morning we decided to bypass Stonehaven and head straight to Butterfly Bay. Needless to say we noted some empty moorings on the way!

Butterfly Bay was much more pleasant with calm seas and much better behaved buoys. We explored a few beaches but decided not to snorkel as the visability was pretty average.
