Bahama Blue Part 3

You can leave a remembrance with the Park at the top of Wardrick Wells Cay



The daily fix was repairing a backed up shower drain that took about 1.5 hours.
Reading:  A Thousand Days in Venice

Oasis from atop of the Wardrick Wells Cay.  Oasis in the picture.

Went snorkeling the next morning over the hull of a shipwreck just off of our stern.  And Alisa and I snorkeled to the sand bar off the boat. 


At 10:30 we were off the mooring and headed out.  A schooner, Liberty Clipper, was sitting at the entrance to the mooring field. Not many boats like that around.



We anchored behind Pasture Cay on the west side of O'Brien Cay after motoring up along the west side of Belle Island. We passed a self sufficient island with a huge power plant on the island.  By days end 8 boats had anchored here.  This is a great snorkeling location with a submerged plane, huge coral reefs, and "the aquarium." Drew said, "This is the best snorkeling I've ever done for coral, variety, and number of fish."  Sargent Majors in your face, queen trigger fish again but huge ones, ocean trigger fish, blue chromis, brain, fan, and tube corals.  We just snorkeled 15 minutes and went back to Ira and Alisa who were watching over the initializing of the water maker.  Something didn't seem quite right because the gauge kept showing the water tank was close to empty. 

Alisa and Ira took out their new paddle board and tried it in the calm water.




Low sun angle as I paddled.

 Great dinner of salmon on the grill, garlic potatoes, bed by 8:30 after Drew declared the mosquitoes were gone - first mosquitoes we'd had.
