  • Land & Sea Park

    Land & Sea Park

    The wind continues to blow around 25 knots and we continue to stay on “our” mooring at Exuma Land and Sea Park. We were going a little stir crazy on Sunday, so went snorkeling around Emerald Rock. Only had a few waves surprise me by flooding the snorkel. Got a couple of good pictures of…

  • Solar Powered Sun21

    Solar Powered Sun21

    The wind is still blowing in the mid-twenties out of the NE so we remain at a mooring in Warderick Wells. If we hadn’t been “stuck” here, we might not have met the interesting crew of Sun 21.

  • We’ve Had Better Days

After calling the Caribbean Marine Research Center on the radio without a response, we took the dinghy over to their dock to see about a tour. Unfortunately we learned that the center didn’t get funded (they were…
