Early December updates
08 December 2009 | Warderick Wells
Sunny and beautiful!
We will be leaving Norman's Cay Sunday morning, and sailing south to our next anchorage at Hawksbill Cay. The trip will take two or three hours of lazy sailing, followed by around 45 minutes of hairy eyeball navigation where Al stands on the front of the bow and tries to determine if anything in front of us looks like shallow coral heads, while I drive and dodge left or right or turn around quick as per his instructions. We wear headphones, so it's all done quietly, but it's still a relief when we get the hook down and dug in good. Next we lower the ladder and jump in, cause well, we can. We go look at the anchor and snorkel around looking for a likely suspect for dinner, if we're lucky. Hawksbill is uninhabited so we may be all by ourselves there. We will stay a few days if we are loving the place, move on the next day if we don't. Our next stop after Hawksbill will be Warderick Wells. I may be able to get internet there, if not my next update will be from Compass Cay next week sometime. Update: Dec. 7 / We are at the Exuma Park Headquarters on Warderick Wells. Al saw a whale! We snorkled and saw a herd of spotted eagle rays. There is so much marine life here, we will go to Stancel Cay for water and fuel filters, and then work our way back to here for the rest of our Bahamas time.
