Relaxing Bahamas Style

Relaxing Bahamas Style
Although the weather was too windy and cool for much water activity, we managed to keep fit walking the cays and gazing at the crystal waters around us.  The sand bars in the North Harbor were a big attraction over the Easter Week bustle when both mooring fields were almost full.  The low tide parties were entertaining and open to all.  One nearby boater added some classic sounds with his clarinet music most evenings.  Our group took turns hosting happy hours to end the day. A Tough life but someone must suffer through it!






Of course there are also those endless polishing, washing, and fix-it projects to keep the other minutes full.:)
Eventually we moved ourselves down to Cambridge where the warden offered the Admiral HOST duties for free mooring.  She dutifully visited all the boats and made sure they knew where to drop their payments as well as kept a list for the MAN so he could double check and get the correct fees. 

In between we managed to hike and snorkel most of the sites in the area.  The Sea Aquarium was the most spectacular with an amazing variety of fish and coral in a small area. The park supplies convenient mooring balls for easy access.  We also stopped at the airplane snorkel spot – a strange site to see the plane nosed into the sand but basically intact with lots of fish making themselves to home. When the winds gave us a break we got into the caves at Dundas Rock – some of us only briefly – just preparations for our next stop.
