We've, so far, made it as far south as Staniel Cay. We haven't had the best of weather lately, but we're trying to make the best of it. We've been ping-ponging around the Exumas Land and Sea Park, as well as the other islands south of the designated area. I'd love to post pictures on our blog, however we've found that internet here doesn't come cheap, and they limit your bandwidth. Between Dave and myself, we're barely able to send out emails, check weather, and make sure the world outside Wave Dancer hasn't crumbled, until we're kicked offline for using our alloted bandwidth.
Any day that's been sunny, we've spent endless hours in the water. Drifting in ripping currents, exploring tanzanite winding mangrove creeks nestled between the whitest sand you've ever seen, hiking the trails, harassing the dog endlessly, snorkeling in incredible reefs, gawking at everything from Nurse sharks, Eagle rays, Common rays, giant lobster, Lionfish, Reef sharks, Moray eels - I could go on. One of the most impressive things about the Exumas (aside from the color of the water) is the sand. It's rubbed and worn so raw from the sea and the surge that it takes on a perfectly round shape. The sand here looks like minute orbed beads, which in turn causes it to be lusciously soft. Like velvet.
Like I said though, for everyday of sun, we've had one for cloud and rain. We're anchored off from Big Major (that's the island with the wild pigs, chickens and goats). We've had a great time feeding them, and waiting for them to swim close enough to the dinghy that we're afraid they might pop it. I'll post pictures when I can - along with text.
