Mooring Warderick Wells Cay, Exuma Park

We have gone over 4300 nautical miles and have enjoyed all of it. Everyday a new adventure. Ed and I are still talking!!! and are amazed at the beauty of the Exumas. Thanks to all of our boater friends who encouraged us to come here.

Just Ed! and maybe the sound behind him

M/V Barbara left a piece of driftwood here with their name. We met them in Joliet

You can see Shore Thing in the distance


Found a friend on the way

The terrain was pretty rough for Crocs but you can see Boo Boo Hill in the distance



We had to follow the trail to Boo Boo Hill

Whale bones


A visitor in the morning--they flew through the boat when we had the curtains open



Sunset from Mooring Ball 1--it was a rocky ride during the night!

Anchorage Highborne Cay, Exumas



They were all over the beach, I stayed in the dinghy since we were told that they can't see very good and they have bitten boaters that have gotten near.


We dinghied over to Allens Cay to see the Iguna

Marina Great Harbour Cay

Jack Nichalus's boat Sea Bear in the harbour. They use it as a condo--the crew brings is over from West Palm for the winter
Third hole

The reds were conch shells painted red


I thought I forgot how--well really I did but I did make a par on one hole--of course it was a par 3!




It was once a beautiful club house now in disrepair. The story is that in the 80's a drug lord ran the club. He wasexpecting that the gov't would allow gambling on the island and that didn't happen. The drug lord ran the place physically into the ground and then the next owner went into bankruptcy as did the next owner. Now twenty families use nine holes and maintain it as best they can. They have a grounds keeper but it really needs work. By comparison Birch Plains is very well maintained!


Sunday we decide to play golf at the Jack Nichalus golf course. There are only nine holes left out of eighteen.



Street fair on Friday night 3/27. Linda talking to Betty from Walkabout and Pam from Silver Boots
