Well, we can't have wonderful weather every day. A cold front has moved in and the winds have picked up out of the north. The sky has taken the sun and left us with lots of gray cloud cover. Winds have been brisk, averaging 20-25 (23-29 mph) knots the last several days with gusts up to 30 (35 mph).
We took advantage of the wind direction and sailed south to the Exuma Park where we have been enjoying life on a mooring ball throughout the blow as well as enjoyed many of the walking trails throughout the park.
Like many of the islands we've seen, the park is made of rock that the sand has worn over time making the walking paths quite interesting at times. Nonetheless we've found our way to the top of the hill experiencing the blow holes and Boo Boo Hill first hand while also enjoying some wildlife (pictured is a hermit crab we came across as well as the skeleton of a 52 foot sperm whale).
While we'd love to take in the underwater splendor of the park, we've opted to hold off until our northern journey in the spring when we hope the weather will be a bit more timid.
More to come.
