Out for a Walk

Yesterday afternoon we went for a walk to explore some new territory. We walked all the way around the point on the north side of the harbor. We took a look at Exuma Sound and saw that the waves were really pounding the rocks. We passed by huge sand and rock piles that are apparently spoils from dredging around someone’s private island. We don’t know how they got the sand and rocks from a barge to the land. At the turn-around point of our walk we came to a little cove (known as Little Creek) with a dock and a sunken sailboat. It could make a nice protected anchorage or marina if it was enlarged. Along the way we passed some cacti. The land is arid here but I am still surprised to see cacti. 

Last evening we went to Glory Days for happy hour, along with Alex and David from Banyan. George and I took an appetizer and our own drinks, as is the custom with cruisers. 

This morning was dedicated to boat chores and then we went for another walk in the afternoon. The supply boat was at the dock when we arrived. Tomorrow will be a good time to check the stores for new produce. We are thankful that the strong winds are staring to ease a bit. They are still in the wrong direction for us to move south and east to Long Island, but that is okay. We can be patient.
