Warderick Wells is the head quarters of the Exuma Cays land and sea park
and we had a good day yesterday snorkelling on the coral heads at Emerald rock
near Warderick Wells followed by a walk where we saw a normally nocturnal
Bahama Hutia, a rabbit size rodent and the only native mammal to the Bahamas, in
the undergrowth eating. They were thought to be extinct until they were found on
East Plana Cay and in an effort to protect it some were moved to Warderick wells
and one other Cay, today they are still endangered but judging by the amount of
droppings present on the island there are a fair few of them there now.
Today we had a great sail for the 2 hour trip to Big Majors Spot, this is
where the swimming pigs are! We have come south a little faster than we had
planned because we needed internet access to be able to continue to sort out an
electrical problem the tenant is having in our flat in the UK.
