En Route to Staniel Cay, The
Exuma Islands, Bahamas
  We were up and off this morning at
eight on a beautiful morning, the water so still we
could see starfish on the bottom.
 No wind - so a gentle motor the
seventeen miles, inside the reef, although shallow -
nothing but sand beneath us
  Keeping a
good look out , we managed a game of Upword
which I won, but I lost twice at backgammon
  Late afternoon the water
was even flatter, just a ripple from Beez
  The last corner before
we pulled into Staniel Cay, as we did a reminder that these
waters can be tricky, a very sad
girl
  We
were answered on the radio by the dock master who gave us instructions. He was
there to direct on the quayside. I went mad and parked backwards and then
went about my chores. Bear called me when he was ready to launch Beez Neez, I
stuck my head up and was astounded to be face to face with a
couple of sharks - licking their lips. Actually they were nurse sharks.
There were loads of huge stingrays just cruising around. Not what you expect at
all. Snorkeling tomorrow just took on a whole new challenge.
  After lunch we went for
a wander. When we had parked we were level with the
jetty, when we tried to get off we found ourselves four foot lower -
amusing to clamber off
  Our girl was quite at home amongst some very wealthy
chic's (middle left - a Princess V74 from Jersey)
ALL
IN ALL CHUFFED TO BITS, SO LOOKING FORWARD TO
EXPLORING
VERY SLACK JOURNEY TO THIS STUNNING
PLACE
