Highbourne Cay
We left Nassau by 9am exiting the Harbour to the east. Getting permission to depart from “Harbour Control”….permission granted, we head south east towards the chain of Exuma Cays.
5 hours of lot’s of blue….crossing the Bahamas banks, 10 to 15 feet of water the whole way across.
We anchored on the west side of this uninhabited island. We have now entered the Bahamas land and sea park. The park stretches 22 miles south from here…..you can not take or leave anything behind.
Great spot to watch the sun set.
Wednesday morning we head to the group of islands north of us in the dinghy.
These iguanas are endangered and protected, you can bring greens or fruit to give them….we brought cabbage, the only fresh greens I have left. You could tell they didn’t love it but they eat it. They can be aggressive, especially with each other….but they won’t go in the water…that’s where I was 😬
Nurse shark we saw several times around our boat. People say these are very gentle; puppies with teeth, but they can still bite….we are careful
After lunch we went for another ride in the dinghy, the water is so clear and with almost no wind you get a clear view of the bottom.
A quick tour of the marina just around the corner, rumor is $40 for 2 beer….too rich for us. The sharks were hanging out by the fish cleaning station….napping 💤
Later, we beached the dinghy for a walk and a swim.
Warm Brie and cocktails waiting for the sunset.
She did not disappoint…. I kept taking pictures as the sky changed….another perfect day. Thursday we head south to Shroud Cay, very close to here.
