Exumas Land and Sea Park
No photos as Internet is expensive and lacking... I'll eventually add them to the 6 or 7 posts I wrote earlier and am posting now December 27th
After 3 nights we moved 20 some miles into the Exumas Land and Sea Park and are anchored near Warderick Wells Cay. There are mooring areas in 3 places around Warderick Wells Cay but we are in the anchoring area. We took the dingy to the Park office/gift shop shortly after we anchored and got a map. Candace got some post cards and I bought a T-shirt. We took a hike to some ruins and across to the ocean side. We saw numerous little rodent like mammals we think were the Hutia. These are surprisingly the only native land mammals to the Bahamas. They look like miniature beavers but without the flat tail. They have just a short tail. They are about the size of a cottontail rabbit.
The popular mooring area is obviously the north one as it had quite a few boats moored. We are anchored near the Emerald Cay mooring field and there are only about 3 power boats moored here with a lot of open balls. We are one of 3 sailboats anchored nearby. They have WiFi you can buy access too for $15 for 24 hours or 100 mb, which ever comes first. We could only barely get the signal on Asperida's bullet plus 100 mb wouldn't be worth it for blogging. I'd use that up in 10 minutes.
Surely we will find WiFi in Georgetown...and I'll have time to finally post to the blog with some photos. I'm not sure how long we will be here but hopefully at least 3 nights as it's vastly more interesting than Highborne Cay. There are some patch coral gardens to snorkel and various hiking trails.
We are running low on gasoline however for both the dinghy outboard and generator...so Georgetown is beackoning.
