believe it or not, there is a railway line (or the remnants of it) under that scrub.
Great pics, very low swell!
Also, look at the last pic right at the end of Pelsaert Island (or Long) and the tiny island is Jon Jim island I think. There is the remains of a wreck between the two.
Also on Pelsaert, in the 30's I believe, was a resort which wasnt a raging success. There are pics in our museum of ladies with parasols and huge dresses walking around on the coral
Halfway through reading the book "Batavia" amazing story, I think a lot of people would be surprised at the history of these islands, cant put the book down such a great read.
For posting these great photos, they really do give you a great look at the island and you get a greater appreciation of what we have just of our coast.

Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.
