Bill snorkelling in 6" of water -
Our boat in the distance |

| Coral and fish - Warderick Wells |
We left Nassau last Friday, when winds finally subsided enough for a lumpy ride to Shroud Cay, the northernmost Cay in the Exuma Land and Sea Park. We spent two nights on a mooring, took the dinghy through a mangrove creek, kayaked, snorkeled a little, met some nice folks, got rained on, and generally enjoyed sunny, lazy days. From there we came further south to Warderick Wells, where the camp HQ is located. We got a choice mooring swimming distance to a little coral bed, so enjoyed some snorkelling with our underwater camera. We're still learning how to use it - the photos should improve once we remember to put it on underwater setting - but it's fantastic to be able to take a camera underwater.
This morning we hiked to Boo Boo Hill, called that either for the sound of ghosts (Boo! Boo!) from a long-ago shipwreck, or because there are blow holes that make some interesting sounds when the tide is up. It's quite windy still, and will be the rest of the week, but the waves on the bank look reasonable, so either tomorrow or the next day we'll move further south. There is nothing to do here but enjoy the gorgeous scenery, the warm weather, and the crystal-clear water. In other words, who could ask for more?
