Since today is a day for laundry, taking on water and finding some fresh veggies in spite of the fact that the mailboat (with the stores’ stores) doesn’t come until Thursday, I’ll join back in with a load of photos from our week in the Exumas Land & Sea Park.
As always, it was a great time sailing between islands. It was beautiful, it was windy, and we hiked, swam, crafted and read (Chickadee record for me of reading two books in a single day was a nice nod to how relaxing it was). Saw a few ocean sunsets, met a number of cruisers (still no kid boats, sad to say), and enjoyed the time of not rushing anywhere.
Afternoon mangrove tour of Shroud.Low tide means a bigger play/dining area for the little pipers flitting through the branches.Shroud’s ocean-side outlet. Deep water at our dinghy haul-out spot, only to shallow out again at the beach. The mangrove critters only have open water access from the bank side.They asked if we had any Grey Poupon, but I just used our last jar. Dang.Sand flats of Hawksbill Cay.Hawksbill Cay.Low tide at the sand flats. An ad in a borrowed Dock Walk magazine, presumably meant for mega yacht owners and crew. Goes to show that ‘they’re’ thinking of everything!Just some ranger stuff.Crossing Banshee Creek on our way up to Boo Boo Hill (on Warderick Wells) with our new boat sign. Note Violet’s face: her usual ‘excited’ look when we tell her we’re going adventuring. New sign in place! (See if you can find it.)I’ve seen plenty of the necklace pod plants on the beach, but never the actual necklaces before!Fun cairns made on Butterfly Beach, Warderick Wells.Clearly bumper-to-bumper traffic on the highway.I spy another Wild Acadia sticker. Ocean Beach trail, Warderick Wells.It might be time to invest in a new pair of spectacles.Violet’s rough afternoon lounging off the beach. Chickadee is behind her- we escaped to a little island off of the anchorage to enjoy the lee.While I sat and read, I also ‘feasted’ upon a four course meal that Violet served to me. This was the lava-volcano cake for dessert.
