We have moved on along the Cays. From Black Point Settlement we went to a bay off Bitter Guana Cay, where we spent the night all by ourselves. Stefan and Marlous explored and came accross some iguanas on land and sting rays in the water off the beach.
Next day we went to Staniel Cay where we spent the night at the Yacht Club. For the first time we had mosquitoes. It was a very sticky windless night. But we had a great afternoon snorkeling in Thunderball cave as well as on a beautiful coral reef wall.
From Staniel Cay we motorsailed to Warderick Wells National Park. A stunning place with several snorkeling spots on coral heads. We were lucky and joined the staff and cruisers for a hamburger bbq on the beach to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the park.
The wind is picking up, unfortunately not from the right direction. We have had to change plans again and not go to Eleuthera but go north to Allan Cays and from there to Nassau.
