We are in Paradise!

Storms in Lobster Cay.........

Beautiful weather in Wardrick Wells.

Too many "elephants" in Staniel Cay but it still is very nice!

Right here in Black Point?  Really, really nice!!!!  The only question that remains is, why did it take so long for us to get here?????  We know the answer but it doesn't matter anymore.....we are here!

So lets go back to our stay in Wardrick Wells.  It seemed like old home days.  The beauty of the place is still great.  Our hike up Boo Boo Hill was treacherous in the area where the limestone is wicked sharp and one cannot afford one wrong step.  Nati's sign was still on the hill.  Maybe next time we'll do an upgrade....maybe.  We did our first snorkeling in a long time and saw some nice coral and a few fish.  Overall a very nice stay.

OH no....pirates!

and now they are eating our food!

Crystal clear??

Lots of color today

Scrawled filefish

Not bad, huh?

Our "local" fleet of stingrays.  The fleet had 8 of them!

Can you find Nati?

From there we sailed down to Cambridge Cay for a couple of days and that too was lovely.  Sv Celest was there again so I had some more chances to harass Robie.  After two days we moved down to Staniel Cay and finally got our Internet going.  Rose at BTC had a lot of patience with us and eventually we were able to find our emails and update the blog.  The yacht club on the cay has done some updating, probably since the big "mega yachts" like to come in there.  Of the 28 boats in Big Major Spot, 10 were in excess of 100 feet!  To us they are elephants and I don't like them one bit!

Grouper fingers was lunch of the day

















Laundry time was necessary and so yesterday we made our way down to Black Point.  We have only spent one night here in the past so we have finally had a chance to to see what is going on here.  It's a quiet little settlement but the locals are so nice.  The laundry is nice (if not the nicest in the Exumas) so we had a good afternoon.
