  This is a magic place, both the scenery and the couple who greet you there. Lyndie and Carl, who run the tiny eco resort and have lived on the island for many years, show a genuine love of the place and a deep and thorough knowledge. Carl is a fairly quiet man until he gets talking about things he is passionate about, when you get a glimpse of just how much he knows about the ocean, the land and the sky. His enthusiasm comes out when he greets you on the beach on a starry night, brings out his flashlight, and shows you fish and other creatures that only he knows how to find. Lyndie has a talent for making people feel welcome, and she will join you for an afternoon and make it that much more special. She joined us for an afternoon of snorkelling and, like Carl, was able to show us how to spot the tortoise that we would have overlooked. A highlight of the stay was when Lyndie showed up on our section of the beach one night with a wagon with a guitar, song books and cake tins as percussion instruments. We had a wonderful singalong as the sun set on that beautiful island.
