No Name Harbor

Not too much to report, we have been anchored outside of No Name Harbor and Bill Baggs Cape state park. It is a beautiful spot, with some easy trails and a very old light house (the oldest structure in Dade County). The sunsets have been wonderful but in a different way from those on the lake, it is a very flat horizon and the color spreads along it for quite a ways but does not go up much. Venus has also been giving us a stunning early evening show. We have been enjoying getting out for walks to explore the park and the town, including meeting some of the locals (as seen in the photo)- they seem to come in green and grey varieties and range in size from very small to these big ones. Friendly enough but not much for conversation.

On board, I am enjoying the final stages of boat organization, tweaking shade canvas and provisioning. I am LOVING having a fridge; boy is it a game changer! We are also getting used to having an outboard motor for the dinghy, which has been a nice addition.

We will move to a more sheltered spot for the high winds expected on Friday night- Sun morning and are hoping the weather window middle next week materializes fully for a jump across.

These are photos taken on our walk out to the preserve (2 miles from the harbor) and as we explored the preserve. It is part of the Bahamanian National Trust holdings that opened 10 years ago. The paths are beautiful and it was wonderful to get into the local forest and understand a bit about the various plants that have been important in the culture and landscape here.
