This is a naturally formed tunnel through the southeastern tip of the island.  What was it used for?  There was plenty of overhead - something like 45 meters (about 150 feet) and 15 meters deep (about 50 feet).  Let's take a look at more shots of this tunnel.

  This photo was shot from the point at which I was about the closest I could get.  We did get closer, but I was moving along the very narrow ledge at the water's edge, I was more interested in not getting knocked off and swept out to sea.  Call it a personal choice, but it seemed to be a good idea at the time.  The ledge was no more than six inches up from the water and even though the sea was relatively calm, every so often a wave of about three feet high would wash in from the left of this photo, sweep all around the face of the cliff and over this ledge which was MAYBE one foot wide.  A wave of that size does not seem like much, but when one is on a narrow, slippery ledge, getting hit with such a wave will absolutely, positively, definitely sweep one off and as the wave recedes, I would have been on my way to the coast of Africa!  Although there are some who would welcome learning that I was washed out to sea, this did not appeal to me.

I hope to return and when I do, I'll have a small boat arranged in advance.  There was no such small boat available this time.
