I started the day slowly with a comfortable breakfast and some reading, then took off for Île Tintamarre and expected to motor but the winds good so I ended up sailing and tacking upwind to get there with average speeds of 7 knots and once there I found a mooring ball but it was close in so I was afraid of shallow water but after circling the mooring field and coming up empty I went ahead and grabbed (I still had 1 foot under the keel, so it was OK). I set up my dive gear and dinghied around the corner to the mooring ball attached to the wreck of an old tugboat and had a nice dive at the site and took many pictures. Afterwards I had to motor back to Grand Case as the winds had died to below 5 knots and at sunset the waters in the anchorage were unusually flat and mirrorlike.

[18°7'22.18"N 62°59'12.58"W ]	This was one of the few pictures that I took with a flash on this dive, and it is clear how many more colors do come out when using white light at this depth (60 feet).
