A jungle waterfall and a Cyclone.

We spent most of the day packing our gear, double checking we had everything and that all the camera batteries were fully charged. We took things slowly and made sure we hadn't forgotten anything. While we were eating lunch the owner of the Villa asked if we would like to accompany him to a waterfall and swimming hole that afternoon?  How could we refuse an offer like that, so after lunch we all piled into the back of his pickup and headed off.
We traveled through what looked like an old abandoned sugar cane plantation, the locals were now living in what remained of the old buildings and huts. We crossed a small river with women washing clothes and kids running around everywhere before parking up in a clearing. We then walked a couple of hundred meters down a trail with trees and vines growing overhead. The sound of falling water got louder and louder until we rounded a bend and the trail opened up to reveal a beautiful waterfall. There was even a small cave behind the cascade and a rock ledge to climb up and jump into the pool from.

We were only too eager to swim and the water was refreshingly cool after the walk in, Greg and I swam across the pool and climbed the rock ledge before jumping into the pool. We then swam under the waterfall and had a look in the cave, it went a fair way back into the rock certainly further than it looked at first glance.
Richard and Chris both had a swim and Chris took some amazing footage of the waterfall with a GoPro mounted on a Quad copter, flying in between the trees to film the cascade from above.

After a relaxing couple of hours we had to head back to the beach and meet the yacht, we only had a couple of hours when the tide was high enough to bring the yacht into the bay and load our gear. A small zodiac was launched from the yacht and with this we ferried everything out to the yacht and stowed it securely.

Our home for the next leg of our voyage.

The next high tide would be in the early hours of the following morning and we were making use of that to board the yacht depart on our voyage North. For the last few days a cyclone had been hovering over the Northern waters of the Mozambique channel, this was a major problem for us. If it continued to move South West things would be ok and we could use the wind to hasten our voyage, however if it turned and headed due South or South East we would be in trouble. Unfortunately we would not know which direction the Cyclone would take until we set out the following morning.
