We left Nassau on Sunday headed for Allen's Cay the first island in a long chain called the Exumas. There was a 7 mile stretch where Nicole stood on the bow watching for coral heads. Hitting one could punch a hole through the bottom of our boat. We saw a few, but we didn't have to adjust our course. At Allen's Cay we met up with our friends Patrick and Stephanie on Septembre that we first met in Bimini. We spent all day Monday snorkeling the coral reefs, searching unsuccessfully for a Conch large enough to keep. Patrick and Stephanie fared no better on their spearfishing expedition. One day we will eat something that we pull out of the ocean.
Tuesday we left to visit Normans Key. The draw was internet and a chance to see a plane that was ditched in shallow water. Unfortunately the internet was broken and the plane less intact than I had pictured it.
Today we arrived in the prettiest place we have been so far- Warderwick Wells, home of the Exuma Land and Sea Park Headquarters. There are several miles of nature trails, a beautiful look out, crystal clear water and white sand. This is what I pictured when we lived in a small apartment saving money for our cruise. We have found paradise.

Ahh, good for you! Right now we're buried in about 3 feet of snow, and since we heard Maryland is due to get about 2 feet we placed a call to where our Knotty Cat is currently shrink wrapped, and asked that they please keep an eye on her. White sand is sounding alot better than white snow right now!
I'm enjoying your journey, you're a lovely couple!
