Time to point our bow northward

Wed May 26th- Started our way back north with plans to see some of the cays we missed on the way south. Our first stop was Musha Cay which is a posh resort owned by David Copperfield. Beautiful protected anchorage where we enjoyed dinner of fresh caught Spanish Mackeral.



Thurs-On to Little Farmers where we explored the cave on Great guana Cay. Apparently some more adventurious souls snorkle here with lights, but we weren't up to that much adventure.





Fri-Sunny and hot, motored to Staniel Cay where we enjoyed some fantastic snorkeling in the Thunderball Grotto. This is the cave where the James Bond movie was made. Chris amazed herself by actually entering the cave after saying "you expect me to swim into there?" Anchored off Big Majors where we fed the resident swimming pigs.





Sat-great sail to Cambridge Cay where we snorkeled in the fantastic Elkhorn coral reefs. We are back in Exuma Park and these reefs abound with colorful fish and some huge lobster.





Sun- After a quick stop to snorkle the sea aquarium on O'briens Cay we had a great sail to Wardrick Wells where we picked up a park mooring.





Mon-Memorial Day- Great sail to Hawksbill Cay where we once again picked up a park mooring. Hiked around in the afternoon. Temps have been in the hi 80's with water about 83. Quite a change from the holiday weather up north.





Tues-Started the day anchoring at a plane wreck on Normans Cay with plans to snorkle there but the current was running stronger than we felt safe in. Rather than wait for slack tide we took advantage of fair winds for a great sail to Allens Cay. This island group is known for it's resident iguanas that come out in force to be fed when you approach.
