We've spent a few days at the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. We've been there before but this is a different anchorage. It as fun to be in a familiar area just the same. The park is one of the very best parts of the Exumas. We've been hiking and snorkeling a lot. This anchorage is a deep semi circle around a sand bar that is partially dry at low tide. We often would have drinks on the sand bar if the tide was right. Some folks on the boat behind us made this break into an art form bring chairs, a cooler and a beach umbrella. (They are in the picture) Great fun especially since the boat is really only about 5 feet away but in 20 feet of water. A couple of boat lengths away we snorkeled on a wreck of a boat which, according to local stories, caught fire and sank at a mooring. Supposedly the skipper left the boat while the generator was running. It is a bit eerie to see a boat not too different from yours on the bottom growing coral . The current really rips through this area so we got a brief view of the wreck then swam like crazy to get back and see it again for just a few seconds. After a bit we smartened up and snorkeled at slack tide. The natural beauty here is amazing.
